Leading the weekend is Wirral's very own The Coral, returning home for a special headline performance. Formed in Hoylake, the band have become one of the peninsula's most celebrated musical exports, known for their distinctive blend of psychedelic indie rock, storytelling lyrics and unmistakable Merseyside sound. With classics like Dreaming of You, Pass It On and In the Morning, The Coral have built a loyal following across the UK and far beyond. Their headline set at We Are Wirral on Saturday promises to be a proud homecoming moment — a chance for thousands of local fans to see one of Wirral's most iconic bands take centre stage on their home peninsula.

Known for explosive live performances and crowd-lifting hits, his headline set is set to transform the festival into a full-scale party. Expect huge beats, sing-along moments and the kind of electric atmosphere only a major headline act can deliver.
