Bramley Social set to come alive this summer with new Northern Soul festival

A massive Northern Soul festival is set to officially launch the city’s stunning new premium events space at Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.

The ‘Northern Soul All Festival’ is taking over The Bramley Social on Saturday, July 25th, bringing a heavyweight lineup of legends from the genre that’s had the North West spinning for decades.

Leading the event is the authentic 10-piece powerhouse The Signatures, who’ll be joined by the incredible Lorraine Silver for a rare chance to see a true original Queen of Soul live on stage. Plus, Angelo Starr & The Edwin Starr Band will be in the house, making sure those iconic soul vibes are louder and prouder than ever.

The event will also feature some of the scene’s finest selectors with DJs Neil Rushton and Simon Hunt playing iconic Motown tracks from the ‘60s and ‘70s, supported by Sean Taylor and Alex Vanlee.

This will be the first event at The Bramley Social, created on the old Terry’s Timber site next to Hill Dickinson Stadium, that is outside of football, hinting at things to come for the venue.

Various bars are serving local ales, craft beers and cocktails, together with an array of street-food vendors including The Lids & Co and The Bus Yard. On matchdays and selected bank holidays, the Bramley Social is licensed until 11pm.

“This stunning space will be open throughout the week – and the year – for entertainment, fun and food outside of football.”

“People will be able to get food, sip a margherita from a cocktail station, and enjoy the amazing music we’ll have on offer. I hadn’t realised just how big the Northern Soul scene still is until I realised we had a 100+waiting list before tickets even went on sale, so this is going to sell out fast.

“It’s going to be a full-on day, celebrating the legendary music, with an amazing atmosphere – and a textured dance floor that’s just perfect for all that fast-paced footwork, and classic spins, flips, and kicks! We are so excited to welcome Northern Soulers to the city and introduce people to Liverpool’s new, premier events space, and to be part of bringing this once-derelict area of the city back to life. This is just the start of a catalogue of events and festivals taking place at the site across the summer period and beyond.”

Running from 1pm-11pm, Northern Soul All Festival will showcase a range of music and food inside the vast warehouse and in pop-up bars and entertainment spaces outside.

Tickets for The Northern Soul All Festival are £39.95
