Smithdown Weekender is back for another weekend of live music and art.

From October 13 to 15, the free event will take over a range of venues around the area to showcase some of the best established and up-and-coming musical talent the region has to offer.

The Smithdown Road festival has become a fixture in the Liverpool music scene with an additional weekend added in autumn as well as the original summer event.
