It’s that time of year again, the sun is finally out and summer finally seems to be upon us. The warmer weather also marks the return of festival season and the Baltic Weekender is one of the first major summer events of 2023.
Brought to you by Abandon Silence and 24 Kitchen Street, the Baltic Weekender is one festival you certainly don’t want to miss. Liverpool’s multi-genre, multi-venue festival is back in 2023 with its biggest line up yet, featuring acts covering house, techno, disco, grime, rap, drum and bass and more.
The festival takes place on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 June, and it promises to be a festival for any DJ lover. As always, the event will take over the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool, performing at a multitude of venues, with 8 stages of music being on show. Venues include the likes of Camp and Furnace and 24 Kitchen Street, with two great days of music guaranteed.
The festival boasts an array of headliners combined with the finest local selectors, with 60+ artists from Liverpool and beyond. Headlining the Friday is 30-year-old, Dance/Electronic DJ Interplanetary Criminal who hails from Manchester. He will be performing back-to-back with Main Phase. Adam Emil Schierbeck, aka Main Phase, is a DJ from Copenhagen, Denmark, who at the time of writing is performing across the UK. Other artists on the Friday include: Daiz-E, Tubz, Gerd Janson and more.
The Saturday also boasts an impressive line-up. Headlining on the Saturday is French electronic/dance DJ, Folamour, who has made quite a name for himself on Soundcloud, surpassing 65k followers already. A man who performs all over, he is currently doing two more shows in the UK before jetting off to Ibiza, Leipzig and Marseille. Before all that though he is in Liverpool for the Baltic Weekender. Acts such as MLF, Jade Edwards, Plush and more will also be performing on the Saturday.
Furthermore, the event will not just be teeming with life, but also with food, as independent pop-up food stalls will be across the Baltic Triangle for you to grab a bite to eat during the festival.
If you are in Liverpool at the time, and you are a lover of the dance music, hot weather, and overall immaculate vibes, the Baltic Weekender is one for you. The festival experience, inside a bustling city full of life, what is not to love?
