The Lathums have released an album of their live performance at Liverpool’s pilot event at Sefton Park last month, entitled “Live From Sefton Park.” 

Last month, the band performed at Sefton Park in front of 5000 people as part of the Government’s research into returning to large scale events. The crowd were not required to socially distance as they enjoyed music from The Lathums, Blossoms and Zuzu.

The English Indie band have now shared a keepsake of their momentous performance at Sefton Park in the form of a brand new live album. The album comprises ten tracks including The Lathums hits ‘”The Great Escape” and “All My Life.”

Frontman Alex Moore commented on the gig: “It’s only now, knowing that everybody could enjoy themselves and it remain safe, that the picture is complete and we’re so grateful to have been there. The atmosphere at Sefton Park before the show was a real buzz and then our time on stage went so quickly.” He continued: “The feeling afterwards will never leave me, just overjoyed to have played our songs to that many people and for that many people to respond so generously. It was a privilege for all of us.”

Sefton Park’s historic pilot data shows they found no detectable spread of coronavirus across the weekend that included both The Lathum’s gig and two nightclub events. Between April and May, as part of the Government’s research, Liverpool hosted 13,000 people to determine whether our mass scale events can safely return. Only 11 people subsequently tested positive for coronavirus, which led to the Government’s findings suggesting that holding mass events without face masks and social distancing pose as little risk as going to a shopping centre or restaurant. However, less than half of the people in attendance at Liverpool’s pilot events returned their PCR tests.

The Wigan band are due to play Derbyshire’s Y Not Festival next month, and they are heading out on tour this coming September. Touring across 24 dates, their biggest tour yet, the band will be kicking off their live gigs at the O2 Academy Newcastle on 29 September 2021, and will be finishing in Belfast on 14 December 2021 at Limelight 2.
