Culture boss promises secret event will rival Tall Ships
THE people of Liverpool “ain’t seen nothing yet”, culture officials have promised.
With the Tall Ships now bound for Norway, officials are already promising a four-day spectacle to rival the weekend’s festivities.
La Machine hits the streets on Friday September 5 and is expected to stop the people of Liverpool in their tracks.
Artichoke, the company behind the fairytale Sultan’s Elephant which brought London to a standstill two years ago, is behind the £1.5m project.
A Culture Company spokesman said the precise details of the free street event “are a closely guarded secret”.
He added: “What’s certain is that it will be huge in scale and utterly unlike anything seen in Liverpool before.”
The performance, which is expected to attract around one million visitors, will then tour Europe.
