Rock for Europe Liverpool, NorthWest Rally & Music Event
Event Information
Description
Let's come together to share some amazing live music and EU speakers, to support the Arts Sector under threat due to brexit. Rock the People’s Vote at Stanley Theatre, Liverpool University. It's time to show solidarity with our artists who rely on EU membership to succeed, to tour in the EU without restrictions. The Arts Sector employs 2 million people in the UK, one of our biggest sectors. Outside the EU artists will struggle to exist, or collaborate on EU projects and many will find themselves out of work. Young, up and coming artists will be affected the most. So Let's Rock the Final Say! To live, love and play in 28 EU countries without borders.To celebrate our European culture. Together we can show the world we are united in diversity. Rock4EU for the freedom to create - we belong together in harmony.
