Afrika Exprez, the collective that featured the likes of Damon Albarn, The Magic Numbers and Fatboy Slim alongside some of Africa’s most feted musicians for a performance at the Park Stage at Glastonbury 2007, will perform again at the Liverpool Olympia venue on March 6.

It is yet to be announced which musicians will perform at the event, but organisers have hinted that Albarn, Hard-Fi, Reverend And The Makers, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly and King Creosote may feature.

The Aliens have confirmed that they will be performing, writing on their MySpace blog: "We hope that it is just as chaotic, exhilarating and inspirational for both artists and audience alike [as Glastonbury]."
