Wait. Is Hope & Glory Festival Attempting A Comeback?

2017's event was a disaster...

Liverpool's Hope & Glory Festival might be attempting a comeback this summer.

The event launched last year, aiming to bring together a mixed bag of delights for Mersey music fans.

Sadly, it didn't quite go to plan; shambolic organising on the ground saw fans suffer huge queues, while the second day of the festival was postponed.

A remarkable interview by the organiser of Hope & Glory Festival on talkRADIO went viral, while the festival's official Twitter feed seemed to continually berate fans and onlookers.

A few moments ago, however, something curious happened: the Twitter account for Hope & Glory Festival 2018 went live.

Liverpool based journalist Peter Guy spotted the account, leading to speculation that organisers might try one more attempt.

Is that a good thing? Well, if they've learned a few lessons from 2017's debacle then yes. If not…
