More than 200 young people from viral TikTok sensations to talented primary school performers are set to take to the stage at ACC Liverpool for a special event celebrating the city region’s rising music stars.
Scousevision will make its debut on Thursday 5 December at the iconic waterfront venue that hosted Eurovision 2023. The show will feature 12 incredible acts, each handpicked by the Sound! Music Hub Youth Board, representing young talent from across the Liverpool City Region and Warrington.
The performers, aged between 7 and 21, include Positive Impact from Liverpool, who recently went viral with over 1.8 million TikTok views for their energetic performance of Alexander Hamilton.
Other highlights include 14-year-old independent artist Macie Murray from Sefton, and the Pagoda Arts Chinese Youth Orchestra, performing their stunning rendition of Take Five.
With a line-up that captures the diversity, creativity, and ambition of young people across the region, Scousevision promises to be a night full of music, energy and inspiration, showcasing the future stars of Merseyside.
Councillor Mike Wharton, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Business, Investment and Trade said:
“Scousevision is creating an opportunity not often available for young performers – the chance to showcase their talent on a big stage like the one at ACC Liverpool in front of an audience of thousands. It’s not common for young performers to be able to share their sound, their talent and to join with other performers on such a large scale.
“That’s why I feel this event, and the work of our new Sound! Music Hub, is critical in our role as the UK’s culture capital. By sparking new connections and inspiring future collaborations here and now, we are opening doors for the next generation of music makers to come out of our city region – an area already renowned the world over for our creative talent.”
The Sound! Music Hub is one of 43 in the UK providing music education and opportunities to children and young people, creating pathways into a music career. Funded by the Department for Education (DfE) through Arts Council England, Sound! is led by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority as the Hub Lead Organisation (HLO).
Serving Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Warrington, the Hub brings together a variety of organisations ensuring everyone has the chance to be involved in music, from traditional lessons to DJing and digital music initiatives.
Sophie Hirst, who is a member of the Sound! Music Hub Youth Board said:
“This is the first event of its kind that we, as the Youth Board of the Sound! Music Hub, have organised, and I am delighted to have been involved so far. All of the acts are absolutely amazing, and we’ve been spoilt with the amount of talent!
There is such a diverse range of acts, and I hope people will come along and enjoy an exciting night of music and performance. We would like as many people as possible to support all of the young people who will be working so hard to make the night a success.”
Tickets are now available here for the concert taking place on Friday 5 December 2025 and can include making a voluntary donation to help support young people to access music-making opportunities across the region.
