The 'jewel in Liverpool's festival crown' made a triumphant return to Sefton Park this summer - successfully transitioning from a historically free event to a ticketed festival - with over 25,000 people in attendance. Across the weekend, the field was a picture of joy and togetherness, with a vibrant and family-friendly atmosphere, bringing a renewed vigour for live music and unmatched energy from the Oyé community.
In 2027, audiences can expect an even more eclectic mix of music and culture from across Africa and the Diaspora, with international artists to emerging local talent playing live, a host of community performances and the return of Oyé's DJ stage. Expect an action packed programme of family friendly workshops and activities in the Oyé Family Zone, as well as world cuisine, arts, crafts and so much more from over 90 stalls in the 'Oyé Village'.
"Returning with a bang in 2026... it's such a lively festival, very multicultural, intergenerational, and loads of families around, activities for the kids, loads of great food on offer, and just a really warm and welcoming atmosphere." – BBC Radio 3, Music Planet
