Sir Kenny Dalglish and members of his family will feature in a special Family Fortunes-style gameshow hosted by Les Dennis

Liverpool legends Sir Kenny Dalglish and Rafa Benítez will feature in a new festival to be held during the final weekend of the Premier League season.

The Red Weekender will see live shows, music performances, family events, and appearances from some of Liverpool's biggest names in football and culture.

The festival, also featuring Reds fan and musician Jamie Webster, will be take place at Exhibition Centre Liverpool from 23-25 May.

With only six games remaining, Liverpool are 13 points clear of the chasing pack and are odds-on favourites to secure their second Premier League title in six years.
