The event will be held in memory of the people who lost their lives in the A3 coach crash following last year’s Bestival, and boasts a handpicked selection of Liverpool’s finest and Bestival’s best.

Heading up the live music action on the night will be Liverpool legends Ian McCulloch with Ian Broudie. Between them Echo & the Bunnymen and The Lighting Seeds have racked up numerous chart hits and become part of the fabric of rock n roll, and the pair's own musical relationship stretches as far back as the Bunnymen’s debut album Crocodiles in 1980.  Also appearing are The Cuban Brothers dropping the party funk and b-boy moves in their own inimitable style, electronic trio Is Tropical, electro rockers Killaflaw and sets from the hotly tipped The Tea Street Band and future guitar duo Hoodie Ledbetter.

As anyone who has been to Bestival will know it’s not just about the music, so organisers have some real treats lined-up for you including a spoken word set from the world’s most lauded trafficker of illicit substances, Howard Marks aka Mr. Nice. Plus there'll be a rare screening of one of the best concert films from recent years, The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think.

In the spiritual home of Cream there will of course be a corking DJ line-up that will include a very special guest synonymous with rocking the dancefloor in the past 20 years, with Bestival curator and Radio 1 leftfield behemoth Rob da Bank, a selection of Liverpool’s finest including Steve Parry, Chris McGee, Dave Whelan, Phil Fearon and James Silk plus Bestival’s own Little Chief.

The money raised from the night will go to the immediate parents or guardians of festivalgoers Michael Molloy and Kerry Ogden who lost their lives in the accident and Zach Washington-Young who suffered life changing injuries.

There are just a few tickets left now for this event  - so don't miss out on the chance to take part. Get yours below.
