As rumours swirl about who will headline Anfield Stadium, people in Liverpool have shared who they'd love to see perform in summer 2027. In recent years, the home of Liverpool FC has welcomed some of the biggest names in music including Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Foo Fighters.
The ECHO has previously reported on the big names circulating including Justin Bieber to Drake, Oasis and Coldplay. However, everything remains speculation until Anfield Stadium or the event promoters make an official announcement.
As names begin to circulate, we asked people in Liverpool city centre who they would like to see perform.

Joshua Barber, 21, would like to see rock band Muse take to the stage. The band, who are currently on their UK tour, have never performed at Anfield Stadium before. He told the ECHO: "The influence they’ve had on me as a musician is insane."
Although Joshua has tickets to see the band on their current tour, "Wow! The signal", he wants to see them play locally in Liverpool. He added: "I’m seeing them soon but hopefully they come more local, so I don’t have to get trains."

Maggie, 66, said “it's got to be” Sir Paul McCartney. While performing a surprise duet during Bruce Springsteen’s Anfield show in 2025, it has been 18 years since Sir Paul played his last solo show. Could 2027 be the year?

Bruno Mars is another artist who has skipped Liverpool as a tour destination. This summer, Mars' "The Romantic Tour" had six UK shows in London. Committed fan, Harriet Suttlaw, 18, travelled to the capital to see him perform.
She told the ECHO: "My favourite song of his is Risk It All from his new album, The Romantic."
Seb Lowe
Not everyone is wishing for global superstars; Benjamin David Hewitts wants folk-punk musician Seb Lowe to take on Anfield. For Benjamin, it's not just about the music, arguing that “in this day and age” he thinks its important for those with a platform to discuss current affairs.
He said: “There’s no sitting on the fence. His music does create this environment for people to think, 'yeah this is the right side of history'.”
