“Music is the heartbeat of Liverpool and for generations it has defined the city’s global
appeal. The time has come to translate that heritage into an offer that shapes our future.

“We have ambitious plans to remix what it means to be a music city. These projects will help
define and shape the next generation of talent and businesses and will increase the impact
music can have on our communities and individuals from all walks of life.

“Our ‘Music 2030’ vision harnesses ambitious thinking and focused investment to turn music
into a driver of social, economic and environmental advancement, with the sector becoming
the backbone for new high-paying jobs, re-energising the music tourism sector and becoming
a vanguard sector for positive environmental change.

“We have entered into a development relationship with Mercury Studios and Universal Music
Group to help create the future of immersive music entertainment right here in Liverpool.
The expertise and innovation of Mercury Studios will empower our own homegrown talent.
This city is known for our incredible music heritage. Together, we will lean on that heritage
to become the birthplace for a new form of music entertainment and create a digital future.

“I’m delighted with the progress made to date and super excited for what is to come. I look
forward to further conversations with our partners and the Government on how we can
develop and deliver these projects.”
