Hope To Be There returns to Liverpool in 2026 for a very special 10th anniversary Rock Festival, taking over the world-famous Cavern Club across two days.
Curated by Lennon’s Bar Lugones, this international rock festival celebrates a decade of music by bringing artists from Asturias to the heart of Mathew Street. Since its beginnings, Hope To Be There has stood for connection, belief, and the power of live music — values that align perfectly with the spirit of the Cavern Club.
Across 16 and 17 May 2026, audiences can expect an electrifying programme of live rock performances, uniting international acts with raw energy and passion inside one of the most iconic music venues in the world.
🎶 Artists include:
• Valvulina
• Black Stokers
• Blackout
• More acts to be announced
Celebrating ten years in one of the most important clubs in music history, Hope To Be There promises a weekend of loud guitars, shared moments, and new discoveries — a true festival experience, Cavern-style.
