The fourth annual "HUB Festival"--featuring graffiti art, a skate park and 20 bands--made a big noise in Liverpool July 22-23, drawing some 12,000 attendees. This lively festival is staged by Liverpool Culture Co., a civic organization delivering a range of cultural events in the run-up to Liverpool's role as European Capital of Culture 2008. The city has been chosen by the European Union to showcase its cultural life and development.
This year's HUB took place at Otterspool Promenade waterfront location. A natural sunken amphitheatre along one half of the site allowed splitting the festival into two music zones, which helped contain noise and keep the performances distinct. The stage showcased a selection of rock, metal, thrash, grunge and speed punk bands, ranging from the local talent to bands from the U.S., Canada and Italy.
