Speaking about the new Knowsley Hall Music Festival, she said: “I'm especially excited to play Liverpool because half my family's from there I've always been a great supporter of Liverpool football club. I love going to the games with my dad. I definitely have fond memories of the place. I love the energy there and going from what I know I think we're going to have a lot of fun. I can't wait.”#

Acts appearing on Saturday's bill include more Glastonbury bands, such as The Who and The View, plus The Coral, Shack, Little Flames and Pete Wylie and the Mighty Wah.

Dsepite marketing itself as 'the only Glastonbury alternative', Knowsley Hall is a non-camping festival. Day tickets are available, priced £42.50 for Saturday and £37.50 for Sunday, or £70 for the weekend. Click HERE to buy.
