The main stage line-ups for the official Eurovision Village have been revealed with around 100 acts set to take the stage across nine days.

From 5–12 May, Liverpool’s Eurovision Village fan zone at Pier Head is free and non-ticketed with each day having a different feel.

The opening night on Friday (5 May) is all about the ‘Uniting Power of Music’, and will see Kalush Orchestra perform before the Welcome to Eurotopia supergroup.

The Royalty Ball on Saturday (6 May) will follow onto stage after a set from Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears (pictured), with Sunday (7 May) one for the families, as kids favourites Bluey, Hey Duggee, Andy and the Odd Socks, Blue Peter and UK Junior Eurovision entry Freya Skye take over.

Bank Holiday Monday (8 May) sees the best of Ukraine – Antytila, Go_A, alyona alyona and Jerry Heil perform, before the English National Opera does Eurovision on Tuesday (9 May).

Wednesday (10 May) is for the musos with The Lightning Seeds, Girls Don’t Sync, Miles Kane and Michael Aldag performing as part of the United by Music Tour takeover, before Thursday (11 May) sees Jamala perform her new album Qirim in a world premiere with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

Friday (12 May) is the perfect warm up to the years’ biggest party as Fleur East joins the all-female line up of Sophie Ellis Bextor and Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon.

Alongside these acts, the main stage will also welcome 20 of the performers who will be competing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 across the week, giving fans a chance to see many of the hopefuls live for the first time as well as a stellar line up of DJ’s curated by Melodic Distraction.

The Grand Final Party on 13 May has already sold out, and lucky ticket holders will enjoy the build up to the main show, with Claire Richards (from Steps), Jedward’s Epic Eurovision Singalong, The Venga Boys, Katrina from Katrina and the Waves, Brooke and Eurovision super fan and “darling of the dancefloor” Motsi Mabuse who will be compering the evening.

Apart from the Grand Final screening, the Eurovision Village fan zone is free and non-ticketed. Please be aware that should the village reach capacity, a one-in-one-out system will be in operation.

Jake Shears says: “I can’t wait to perform at the official Eurovision Village. An audience in Liverpool is always amazing but with the added Eurovision sparkle, it’s going to be an unforgettable experience.”

Claire McColgan CBE, director of Culture Liverpool, adds: “This is a Eurovision Host City Village like no other. At previous cities this area has very much been a location to screen the shows and give a platform for Eurovision talent – but in typical Liverpool style we have supersized that.

“The full programme is worthy of a standalone festival in itself and it’s cliched but there really is something for everyone – from amazing family content to household names, up and coming talent and of course some incredible Eurovision acts as well as some huge Ukrainian names taking to the stage.

“I’m massively proud of what we’re delivering and can’t wait for the 5th so that we can see seven months’ of hard work and commitment by everyone involved become a reality – I’m just keeping everything crossed that May’s weather is kind to us to make it even more special!”
