Starting back in 2003 as a single venue venture, LMW has become one of the ever-present festivals of the national music calendar. Hosting over 300 bands every year the UK’s largest indoor winter festival has played host to some of the most iconic figures in the world of music, the likes of Kasabian, Florence & the Machine, The Chemical Brothers, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Specials, Dizzee Rascal and Two Door Cinema Club to name a few.

This year's monolithic final event on November 11 promises to go down in history as one of Merseyside’s most memorable gigs, taking the festival into its 10th year with a mouth watering selection of bands across 17 rooms.  

17 rooms of music

On the night the 17-room, labyrinthine Contemporary Urban Centre will be turned into an expansive performance space, showcasing some of the freshest, most up and coming acts on the scene.

From acclaimed rhythms and rhymes courtesy of the irreverent Mercury Nominee Ghostpoet and dancefloor electronica from the universally lauded D/R/U/G/S, to the heartfelt lyricism of standout alternative songstress Beth Jeans Houghton and alt-rock with The Phantom Band, late-night-noise from Brooklyn hype band Cerebral Ballzy, and even an exclusive homecoming show for new Liverpool band-of-the moment Outfit - their first Liverpool date since being named no.6 in NME's top 25 new bands in the world. The phrase 'something for everyone' comes to mind.
