My wife still refuses to join!
We have invited festival participants to judge the festival every year, and now the verdict on this year's festival has been made!
We will make the world the best place to be.
The goal has been ever since the idea for the festival started in 2019 that the Liverpool Festival should be the best place in the world to be, when you are a Liverpool supporter. It is a pretty tall goal, but it gives us something to aim for.
Such a goal also means that we must constantly work on further developing the festival and making it a place where more and more people want to hang out. If we are to succeed in that, we must include the supporters on the team, the supporters who have been to the festival and who have thoughts and input they want to share with us.
Every year, festival participants have been invited to answer a survey about their experience of the festival. The response has been good and this year too we ended up with enough responses to be considered a representative sample.
People have responded willingly about how they experienced the festival and have given lots of good input on how future festivals should be. We thank and bow to everyone who participated.
Valuable input
We asked attendees to rate everything from cleanliness and bar selection to ticket prices and the legends in attendance. We also gave everyone the opportunity to provide input, thoughts, and feedback in the questionnaire.
Altogether, this has given us valuable data about how people experience being at the Liverpool Festival, in addition to comparing data from this year's survey with previous years.
Incredible! So wonderful to meet so many "like-minded people". It was my father and I's first time, but definitely not the last! Feedback in the survey
We have many examples of how feedback over the years has led to changes and we know that the responses from this year's festival will also lead to changes during the 2027 Liverpool Festival. The essence is the same since we started in 2022, it is first and foremost about community and an arena to celebrate the club we all love.
At the same time, there have been a number of changes along the way, both in the way we put together the program, the design of the festival area, the toilet facilities, access to legends and quite a bit more. And the reason for most of the changes is, as previously mentioned, the results of previous years' surveys.
No restrictions on smoking, snipe. No restrictions on walking around with alcoholic beverages while children are present. Smoking in particular is out of step. Now three of my fan friends have dropped out outright because we are sitting or standing in a cloud of smoke everywhere. My wife refuses to continue to join, especially considering the smoking everywhere, by a tiny minority of the participants. Maybe it doesn't help that some of the organizers smoke on stage? Feedback from the survey
What did the participants answer?
We asked participants to rate various themes from 1 – 6, where 6 meant they were very satisfied. The most important question we ask is how satisfied the participants are overall. The answer was that we are constantly improving. We continue the trend of participants becoming more and more satisfied with us.
The things people were most satisfied with were the opportunity to be with other supporters (Community 5.75), the volunteers (5.78) and the festival area itself (5.56). The things people were less satisfied with were the selection of food (4.25) and the ticket prices (4.45).
We also see that the participants were a little less satisfied with the interview sessions with the legends this year compared to, for example, last year, and that they felt that the capacity of the toilets had been better in previous years.
The fact that free food is being distributed in the liverkidsparken makes me feel moved just writing it. What an incredibly nice guest❤️ the kids love it! Feedback from the survey
When it came to the events that were held outside the festival area, Livergirls ONLY scored the best (5.41), although it scores slightly lower than the last three years. The breakfast (5.23) and the Supporter Dinner (5.11) also score well.
Together with the input we have received, we have a pretty good idea of what we need to change before the next festival to get an even better score.
Fun facts
We're curious about who's at the festival and here are some fun facts about it.
56 children between the ages of 7 and 16 bought tickets. In addition, children who entered for free (0-6 years)
49% of festival attendees are 55 - 64 years old (several who grew up under Keegan)
85% of participants experience the Liverpool Festival as a child-friendly festival
29% of participants are girls
77% of participants were members of Liverpool FC Supporter Club Norway
7% of participants do not live in Norway

Fantastic, unity, community and inclusive are the words used most when we ask participants to describe the festival in one word.
Great festival area. I would like separate toilets for girls. Feedback from the survey
Feel free to give your input!
We are always open to opinions, input, both harsh criticism and praise. It is very important for us to know what you think about the Liverpool Festival. Why are you choosing not to come, what do you think could have been better, what do you miss about the festival?
We are in the midst of planning the Liverpool Festival 2027, but we welcome all input on the way to the portal to the festival area opening again on Thursday, August 5. Please send us a few words via chat on the website, messages via social media or by email to info@liverpoolgjovik.no
