Hotels for Squeeze plus Very Special Guest Billy Bragg

A double bill built on decades of sharp, literate songwriting. Squeeze's catalogue of witty, melodic hits sits well alongside Billy Bragg's blunt, politically charged folk-punk, giving the night a real contrast in tone rather than two acts cut from the same cloth. Expect a crowd that knows the words, a Saturday evening start, and a setlist likely to span both careers rather than lean on a single album. It's the kind of pairing that rewards turning up for the support as much as the headliner.

Part of Liverpool's regenerated Kings Dock on the waterfront, the M&S Bank Arena hosts major concerts, sport and family shows beside the Albert Dock and the city's maritime landmarks. The setting is one of the best of any UK arena, with restaurants, bars and museums lining the riverside. It sits within walking distance of the city centre, and Liverpool's compact core keeps rail and buses close. A nearby room lets you enjoy the docks before a show and wander back along the water afterwards.
