If you’re a music lover, Liverpool in May and June is exactly where you need to be. The city’s legendary music scene shifts into high gear with two of the most anticipated festivals in the UK: Sound City (1–3 May 2026) and Africa Oyé (20–21 June 2026).
Whether you’re heading to the Baltic Triangle to discover the next Ed Sheeran or lounging in Sefton Park to the sounds of authentic African beats, getting your group there together is the first step to a perfect weekend.
Sound City 2026: The Home of New Music
Dates: 1–3 May 2026 Location: Baltic Triangle, Liverpool
Sound City is famous for catching superstars before they hit the big time. With over 100 artists across multiple indoor and outdoor venues, it’s a non-stop weekend of discovery.
- The Transport Challenge: The Baltic Triangle is a busy creative hub with very limited parking. During festival weekends, road closures and heavy foot traffic make finding an Uber or a local taxi a long, frustrating process.
- The Manpool Way: We provide a dedicated drop-off and pick-up service. Our drivers know the Baltic’s one-way systems inside out, dropping you at the heart of the action and meeting you at a pre-arranged spot when the final set ends.
Africa Oyé: The UK’s Largest Free African Music Festival
Dates: 20–21 June 2026 Location: Sefton Park, Liverpool
Africa Oyé is a true Liverpool institution. Expect a weekend of world-class music, incredible food, and a vibrant multi-cultural atmosphere in one of the city’s most beautiful parks.
- The Transport Challenge: Sefton Park is huge, and parking in the surrounding residential areas is notoriously difficult during Oyé. Public buses are often packed to capacity, leaving many festival-goers standing in long queues.
- The Manpool Way: Our XLWB Ford Tourneo is perfect for Oyé. If you’re heading down with a group of 6, we can carry all your picnic blankets, chairs, and cool boxes in our “big boot” with ease. We drop you right at the park gates, so you can start enjoying the music immediately.
Why Pre-Book Your Festival Travel?
Festival weekends in Liverpool see a massive surge in demand. By pre-booking with Manpool Transfers, you avoid:
- Price Surges: Standard apps hike their prices when demand is high. Our prices are fixed and transparent.
- Splitting the Group: Don’t risk half the squad getting lost in a different taxi. Travel together in a Mercedes V-Class or a large minibus.
- The Long Walk: We get you as close to the venue or park entrance as possible, saving your feet for the dance floor.
