This weekend brings down the curtain on another bumper year of performances at Anfield.
No, not Arne Slot’s all-conquering Liverpool side who cantered home to a 20th English league title, but a summer of massive sold-out gigs in L4.
Lana Del Rey is the final megastar to bring their tour to Anfield this summer, following huge shows by Dua Lipa and two performances by Bruce Springsteen at the start of this month.
This has naturally created a clamour for more music events at the 61,276-seater stadium. However, there are rules around how and when Liverpool FC can let out their ground for sell-out shows.
The first reason is obvious. The Reds need access to Anfield from August to May to play at least 19 league games, any European matches and domestic cup competitions.
The club needs a licence to stage major events outside of football matches, which controls the sale of alcohol, how much noise is permitted, and timings. As a result, Liverpool Council has granted permission for the stadium to be used no more than six times, other than in July.
