Liverpool Zoe's Place to mark new chapter with music and celebration after being saved
The hospice was saved from closure in 2024 after the city banded together to raise more than £6 million.
Taking place at M&S Bank Arena on Thursday 17 July 2025, 'A Celebration of Zoe's Place' will bring together some of Merseyside's most iconic performers - including Ian McCulloch, The Zutons, Jamie Webster, Rebecca Ferguson, Lightning Seeds, The Real Thing and The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Organisers say it is a landmark night of music, unity and gratitude for the city that saved the hospice.
Liverpool Zoe's Place provides specialist respite, palliative, and bereavement care for babies and young childrenwith life-limiting and complex conditions.
In 2024, facing potential closure, the city rallied behind a grassroots campaign to save the hospice.
Those involved say the concert is not only a thank you to the people of Liverpool and beyond who helped save the hospice - it will also mark the culmination of the 'Same Heart, Fresh Start' campaign, which invites the public to be a part of the charity's future.
The evening will include the official reveal of the hospice's new name and mascot, chosen from publicsubmissions from across the UK and will raise essential funds to support its move to a new, purpose-built homein West Derby.
A Night to Remember - led by the 66-piece Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Sense of Sound Singers will perform a specially curated Merseyside songbook, with collaborations and reimagined classics from a lineup of artists.
Comedian Adam Rowe - an arena headliner himself - and presenter Leanne Campbell Power will host theevening, alongside special guests and recognisable Merseyside faces introducing performances and leadinginteractive fundraising moments.The event is designed to be a family-friendly, community-wide moment, with accessible pricing to ensureeveryone who supported Zoe's Place can be part of the celebration.

Coleen Rooney has the time of her life as she lifts son Cass, six, on to her shoulders at Together Again Festival
Coleen Rooney had the time of her life as she lifted her youngest son Cass on to her shoulders at Together Again Festival over the weekend. The WAG, 38, and three of her children, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six, joined the crowd at the event held at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire. The family enjoyed performances from Olly Murs, Jamie Webster and Dizzee Rascal, with Coleen seen singing away in the audience. Sharing a series of photos to Instagram on Monday, she gave an insight into their weekend and joined Jamie for photos backstage. She wrote: 'Thank you for looking after us Together Again Fest… fantastic set up!! 'And thanks for the photos and lovely to finally meet you Jamie Webster…. Kids had a ball. Elsewhere, Coleen's earnings have soared amid her huge TV projects as she looks set to become her family's 'main breadwinner '. The WAG reportedly boasts a net worth of £15million, with her hubby thought to be worth an enormous £170million thanks to his Premier League footballing days. But in the new phase of their lives, Coleen could be set to take over as the main breadwinner as her popularity soars. Amid her skyrocketing fame following her hugely successful I'm A Celeb stint, Disney announced on Monday a new premium access series titled The Rooneys focusing on her and Wayne's life. Thanks to her ventures, new figures for her firm, CWR 2021, up to September 2024 show the booming business already had £580,000 banked - and that was before I'm A Celeb and her Disney deal. Meanwhile former manager of Plymouth Arsenal Wayne was reportedly making £500,000, before leaving the club in December. A financial expert told The Sun: 'These earnings show that, even before Coleen signed up for I'm A Celeb, she was already bringing in more money than Wayne. 'On the back of her jungle stint, where she was incredibly popular with the viewing public, she's now likely to see her earnings soar even further - and the increased interest in Coleen after she did so well on the show is also likely to have sealed the deal on the Disney contract.' They added: 'Getting big bucks from a global streamer, plus her pay cheque from ITV, will no doubt swell the Rooneys coffers even further.' MailOnline has contacted Coleen's representatives for comment. In March, Coleen revealed that she has eclipsed Wayne in popularity after starring on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Coleen took part on last year's series of the ITV show where she finished as runner up to McFlyn's Danny Jones after winning over a huge number of fans. And the mother-of-four has explained that she now gets even more attention in public than her famous footballer husband. Speaking to The Mirror at an event in Manchester, Coleen admitted she was humbled by the 'positivity' of people coming up to chat to her about her time in the jungle. She said: 'I didn't realise how big the audience was. I get parents come up to me saying "aw, we got our family back together on the couch to watch it" and that's lovely to hear.' Not being able to resist making a brutal dig at her husband, she then joked: 'Even on school runs, Wayne has passed his sell by date so no one has got a clue [about him] But then all of a sudden we get kids going "oh Coleen Rooney!"' Speaking of her popularity, Disney announced on Monday that a new premium access series titled The Rooneys is set to air, and filming is already underway. The ten part doc-series will delve into the footballer and WAG's lives 'like we've never seen them before'. It is set to see Coleen tackle 'new entrepreneurial endeavours' and Wayne stepping away from the football pitch to do school runs. The new show has 'unprecedented access' into their world and dives into their everyday life, including highs like holidays and celebrations as well as the lows.
