The UK’s biggest celebration of African and Caribbean music and culture returns to Sefton Park on 20th and 21st June 2026. This Liverpool institution is truly a family-friendly feast for the senses and has been a part of the city’s cultural calendar since 1992. May the sun shine upon you and your loved ones; whether you’re dancing to live music from world-class artists from African and the Diaspora; sampling cuisine from across the globe in the Oyé Village; taking part in free workshops in the Oyé Active Zone, enjoying live DJ sets, or simply basking in the unique atmosphere that only Africa Oyé can bring.

After weathering the kind of storm that few can prepare for, Lewis Capaldi returns with a renewed sense of purpose. ‘Survive’ proves that even in the darkest moments, there’s still strength in showing up. As he marks a new era, Lewis isn’t just surviving, he’s returning even stronger, heart wide open, and ready to step out again.
