Calvin Harris says Liverpool parade was 'best gig' of his life

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Calvin Harris described the Liverpool parade as one of the best gigs of his life. The Scottish DJ joined forces with Andy Robertson earlier this year to ensure the parade was one fans don't forget for a long time.

Among his song choices was his ‘One Kiss’ smash hit with Dua Lipa, now hailed as a Liverpool anthem, as he's opened up on the epic celebrations. “Honestly, it was the most unreal experience of my entire life,” Harris told Capital Radio.“Obviously, I’m a Liverpool fan, but it didn’t become a football anthem, it became a Liverpool anthem specifically, so that happening was bizarre in itself.”But the day was not without its mini-dramas along the way, with a power issue almost wreaking havoc before the bus made its way onto The Strand.“I sort of got chatting to Andy Robertson and he said, ‘if there’s anything you can do, we’re doing this float sort of thing, maybe you could DJ at Anfield or the bus?'” Harris explained.“And I was like, ‘mate, get me on that bus’.

It was a four-hour DJ set for start, so we had four hours driving through the streets of Liverpool.“It started off very residential, and I got two hours into my set and the sound guy ran up from the bottom of the bus and he said, ‘we’re running out of power, we’ve got 10 percent of the battery left’.“Andy Robertson is behind me freaking out, ‘what do you mean, we’ve got to get to the docks where it all goes mental!’“I didn’t know what to do, he was like, ‘you can turn it down for now’, so I turned it right down and Firmino is on the other end of the bus pointing at the speakers like ‘there’s no sound’.“There was a truck behind us letting off fireworks every now and again, so they managed to run a power line from this truck to the bus with seconds to spare
