Our award-winning DJ Battle is back! But this time, we’re heading to Liverpool…

Mayors Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram are set to face off against each other in a return of our award-winning DJ Battle fundraiser, but this time, we’re heading to Liverpool.

The pair will be taking to the decks on Friday 2 February 2024 at Camp and Furnace, as Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region go head-to-head in a good-natured music battle, all for a worthy cause.

Proceeds from the night will be distributed between the Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester charities, with all funds supporting initiatives to tackle homelessness and end the need for rough sleeping. In the Liverpool City Region, proceeds will be directed to homeless charities across the area through Community Foundations for Lancashire and Merseyside. In Greater Manchester, the money will support our flagship scheme, A Bed Every Night, providing emergency wrap-around support to those rough sleeping, offering guaranteed food and shelter.

Our Patron, Mayor Andy Burnham said:   

“We’re coming back but this time we’re heading over to Liverpool. I was so proud of what we achieved with our DJ Battle last year, using the power of music and friendly rivalry to unite behind one powerful message, that homelessness has no place in Greater Manchester. It’s going to be bigger and better this time round, as we spread the fundraising and ramp up the noise over in Liverpool.”

Mayor Steve Rotheram said:

“I’ve long said that our region is the undisputed home on British music and I’m looking forward to going head-to-head with Andy to settle this debate once and for all. Best of all, this year’s contest is on home soil!

“Despite all the light-hearted jokes we make about regional tribalism, we were absolutely blown away by the support and generosity of everyone who got behind last year’s DJ battle and donated to such a cause that’s very close to all our hearts. Afterall, the measure of any decent society is how it treats its most vulnerable citizens – and we’re showing that the North West will always stand united in support of those who need it most.”

Whoever wins, this will be an unforgettable night raising important funds. It is the battle against homelessness!
