Liverpool City Region Mayor, Steve Rotheram, said, “The Liverpool
City Region has always had music running through its veins—it’s
part of who we are.
“We’re launching bold, groundbreaking projects that will remix the
way music is made and experienced—right here in the heart of the
UK.
“With cutting-edge technology like AI and VR, we’re creating
opportunities for the next generation, making sure that Liverpool
isn’t just a city with a rich musical history, but a global leader in the
music of the future.
“This isn’t just business—it’s about giving young people the chance
to thrive and putting our region back on the world stage.
“We’re setting the standard for what a music city should be in the
21st century.”
