Saturday night offers an energy bomb when The Ragamuffins come direct from Liverpool city to our main stage. It was a demand from everyone who has experienced these guys the last two festivals that we invite them back.

Here there will be LFC songs on a continuous basis from the guys who are behind the supporter versions of, among other things, "Si Senor" and "Tsimi Tsimi Tsimi our Kostas Tsimikas" (Gimme gimme gimme) Lucho (together with Andy Hodgson and the fairly fresh MacAllister.

In recent seasons, The Ragamuffins have been the house band at Hotel Anfield and are a regular fixture there on match days. They have also played around at large supporter events in the USA, Canada and Europe, but now they are finally going back to the Liverpool festival. This will be a perfect end to the last day of the festival! Here come the LFC pearls in a row!

The Ragamuffins are on the main stage SATURDAY

Andy Hodgson has become a big name within the supporter community, not least after he took over as pre-match troubadour at Taggy's Anfield Roard. might not be a name you immediately know who it is, but have you spent any time at Taggys in the 37-year-old who was born and bred just a stone's throw from Anfield is a staunch scouser and LFC supporter.

When we booked Andy for the Liverpool festival in 2023, he was not as well known, but after the success there the first year, he was invited back in 2024, and now he is coming once again

Look forward to experiencing a real Scouser with a blood-red heart, and with a good bunch of groovy tunes in the guitar case.

He will be present at the festival all days

Kieo, or Kieran Molyneux as he is actually called, has established himself as a singer/songwriter, children's book author and of course LFC troubadour. Kieo is best known to many as one of the guys in Boss night which the 30 year old from Walton has been a part of for the last ten years but has also released his own music

He is also one of the public faces of LFC retail and regularly appears alongside players and legends at photo shoots, most recently with Luis Diaz.

​

You'll hear LFC songs that you've probably heard before, and that you'll definitely sing along to and clap along to. Kieo will be at the festival every day, popping up with his guitar here and there, and he'll definitely be hanging around the festival grounds to get to know as many of you as possible. This is a thoroughly nice guy who we can't wait to have back at Liverpool Festival!

Kieo plays for several days

It's time for a very special experience when The LFC Jam Band takes the stage. A band you've probably never heard of before, and that's no wonder. These guys usually play individually and are regulars at pre-match events at places like Taggys, Hotel Anfield and Sandon in Liverpool, in addition to hiring the troubadour who usually creates the atmosphere at the Liverpool pub Scruffy Murphys in Bergen.

The seven who will take the stage to end Friday night with a golden series of LFC songs are: The Ragamuffins fronted by David Jaggs, Andy Hodgson, Kieo from Boss Night and the big son of Bergen, Alek

Many of you who have been to the Liverpool Festival have a relationship with AC/DC and perhaps most of all to the period with the legendary Bon Scott as vocalist. When we came across a band that has dedicated a lot of time to traveling around and paying tribute to this period with the best of the best from the AC/DC song catalog, we had to take a chance!

The tribute band Bon Scotch is a tribute to AC/DC and Bon Scott, and consists of a solid bunch of die-hard rock fans who believe that people deserve to relive the sound of AC/DC's first lineup. The band has been going since 2006, playing a lot around Norway and has also been out of Norway to play concerts.

​

Bon Scotch is on the main stage THURSDAY

One Vision has a rich catalog of songs in their bag when they take the Pepsi Max stage on Thursday night. The band, which actually consists of musicians from different bands, meets a few times a year to pay tribute to Queen. And they usually fill the hall every time. During the Liverpool Festival 2025 they will come with a full choir. When One Vision takes the stage you can of course expect Queen songs to come non-stop. You can also expect a band that is bubbling with joy and energy, here there will be a good atmosphere and a high sing-along factor. This is simply going to be very good, people!

One Vision also played during the Liverpool Festival 2024 and the feedback from festival attendees was so positive and the requests for a repeat were so many, that we just had to book them again! Several of the feedback we received was that this was some of the best they had ever experienced when it came to interpretations of Freddie Mercury and the gang.

Alek is of course a die-hard Liverpool supporter. He has several trips over to Anfield and Liverpool, and in connection with the last home game of the year he will also be doing a couple of gigs there, at The Derry Club and NO9 Kitchen and bar. If you are over, stop by one of these places

Alek also shared the stage with Andy Hodgson during a visit from the Scouser in Bergen in April this year. And Andy was full of praise for Alek and made it clear to us that he would like us to book him to play at the Liverpool Festival. So we did!

In addition, he was also invited on stage in Milan during Andy's concert before the Champions League match against Milan.

Alek plays for several days

The Secondhand Smokers are a tough power quartet who love to "give the iron". The experienced guys play seventies inspired rock interspersed with blue gold from the beginning of rock.

The music delivered can be described as sweaty, tight, and suggestive. Improvisation, joy of playing, and "giving it your all" are a given. Some of the artists the repertoire is drawn from are Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, Johnny Winter, and ZZ Top.

The Secondhand Smokers are: Arild Steinsrud bass, Tom Arne Fossheim drums, Thomas "Rebo" Bjerke guitar, and Lars Viken organ/piano and keys.

The Secondhand Smokers play Friday or Saturday

Rasmus found love in Gjøvik (as many others have) and has moved both his music studio, guitars and other things that make sound here to the district. He is perhaps best known as one half of Ash and Thorn who received a lot of attention through The Voice on TV2 in 2021. Now he is mostly engaged in his solo career and has released music under his alter ego Saint Elmo. You will also meet the guy around the festival area, he is one of the festival's photographers and drone pilot.

Rasmus plays several days

Rune Bakkelund is well known to most people living in the Gjøvik and Toten area. There is hardly a place he has not played, either as a troubadour or with the Vazelina tribute band, Harry Hoovers, who those who were at the Liverpool Festival 2024 got to know. During the festival, Rune brings his guitar and plays songs that get the mood up, we are pretty sure that there will be the occasional Vazelina song too, and guaranteed the song that all of us locals love, "På Gjøvik"

Rune plays for several days
