Tom Grennan took to the stage with special guests, including former Spice Girl Mel C
During his set, he was ed on stage by famous Liverpudlian, Mel C from the 90s girl-band the Spice Girls.
Known in the group as Sporty Spice, true to her nickname she wore a Liverpool football shirt.
While you might be expecting cheers from a hometown crowd - she was booed by some for wearing the jersey.
Grennan meanwhile, said he was "restoring the balance" as he wore a blue Everton top, the city's other famous football club.

Fans didn't expect to see KSI on stage at Sefton Park
Another surprise was YouTuber KSI ing Grennan.
"We're about to go wild for this," Grennan promised before KSI entered the stage to cheers from fans.
He wasn't the only one making an unexpected appearance either!
Ed Sheeran thrilled fans with a shock performance on the New Music Stage, telling the crowd: "I'm glad you turned up. I know this was a secret."
But as it wasn't able to contain as big an audience as the main stage, some fans were left disappointed that they didn't get to see his set.

Ed said he chose the smaller stage because he'd 'never played it before' and he felt the tent has 'the best energy'
One person who was playing the main stage was Myles Smith, who will also have a busy summer playing at Glastonbury and Wembley as well as ing Ed Sheeran on his tour.
The 26-year-old who earlier this year won the Rising Star Brit Award, was thrilled to be there.
"It's wild," he told the BBC. "Main stage at Big Weekend is huge for me - it's one of those pinch-me moments.
"I'm just trying to take it all in and enjoy the ride."

Myles also played at Big Weekend last year but on a much smaller stage
But for other fans, their highlight was seeing Jade Thirwall - the former Little Mix star turned solo artist.
She performed some of her solo hits including Angel of My Dreams and Fantasy, but she also paid tribute to her bandmates as well, playing some of their biggest songs.

Jade was performing on the New Music Stage
She told the crowd: "This is my first ever solo show and I promise you, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else or with anyone else tonight. Wow this is incredible.
"Now because it is my first show I want it to be extra special and a night I'll never forget."
