&archive2009 Liverpool Summer Pops Festival
A Chas Cole for CMP Entertainment Production
The Liverpool Summer Pops Festival will return to it’s home at the 10,000 seater Echo Arena in Liverpool’s Kings Dock. A number of fringe events will also take place at various venues across the City.
CMP Entertainment, were first associated with the Summer Pops in 2001 at the behest of Liverpool City Council, when CMP booked artists of the calibre of Bob Dylan, Ray Charles and Shirley Bassey. Over the subsequent years, artists from every genre – rock, jazz, folk and pop – all played the event, which became an integral part of the European summer musical calendar.

During CMP Entertainment’s tenure of the event, the familiar Green and Yellow Big Top played host to over a hundred big name artists and provided a platform for Liverpool to re-instate its rightful place as a venue for the biggest names to perform; something that had been sadly missing from the City’s musical skyline for many years.
In 2005, The Summer Pops moved from its home on the Kings Dock to make way for the construction of the new Liverpool Echo Arena and Convention Centre, and CMP’s Chas Cole says this will probably be the event’s greatest legacy.
The Liverpool Summer Pops Festival has become established as an important part of the European summer music calendar, with some of the greatest names in music having played over the past eight years:
