Liverpool Olympia Joins the Music Venue Trust!

We’re proud to share that the Liverpool Olympia is now officially part of the Music Venue Trust (MVT) — a major step forward for our venue, our artists, and our community.

Joining the MVT strengthens our commitment to protecting and supporting grassroots music. Through this partnership, the Olympia gains access to national advocacy, specialist support, and new opportunities that help independent venues thrive.

It also means greater visibility for the emerging artists we champion, and more resources to keep live music sustainable for future generations!

This move builds on the work we’re already doing with our Olympia Lounge Sessions, where we showcase grassroots talent and give new artists a platform to grow. Becoming part of the Music Venue Trust is a continuation of that mission — ensuring that local musicians, young creatives, and community voices have a stage they can rely on.

We’re excited for what this means for Liverpool’s music scene and for everyone who walks through our doors.

Stay tuned on our socials and website for updates, new initiatives, and future Lounge Sessions. The future of grassroots at the Olympia is only getting stronger.

Future Yard Shadows – Lounge Session Recap

Looking forward to more sessions like this. The future is bright.

Liverpool Olympia CIC x Vogue Academy CIC

We are proud to work alongside Vogue Academy CIC, hosting both their End of Summer Showcase and their Christmas Performance here at the Liverpool Olympia. Each event brought incredible energy into the venue, with students delivering standout routines that highlighted their hard work, creativity, and passion.

Our team supported Vogue Academy throughout both productions — from rehearsals and staging to helping backstage and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. It was a pleasure to see the academy’s young performers shine on our stage and to welcome families and supporters into the building for two unforgettable celebrations.

This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting local organisations, young talent, and community‑led arts. We look forward to continuing our work with Vogue Academy CIC and welcoming them back for future performances.
