It's been announced this morning that the Giants are making a spectacular return to Liverpool this autumn
The show will run for three days in October for a third and final performance on Merseyside.
As well as spending their time in Liverpool, this time the shows will head to the Wirral in what's being described as the biggest yet.
Founder and Artistic Director of Royal de Luxe, Jean Luc Courcoult, said: “We love Liverpool and can’t wait to return.
“The welcome we receive from the people of the city warms our hearts and we are excited about not only bringing a brand new story to Liverpool, but also to exploring beautiful Wirral for the first time.
“As it will be our last Giant show here we think it will be very special, and we hope people will enjoy our final farewell to the city which is our second home.”
The event is one of the major highlights of the Liverpool 2018 programme – a year-long celebration which marks a decade since the city held the game-changing title of European Capital of Culture.
Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, said: “For many, this event will be one of the most highly anticipated events of the year.
“Since the Giants left us nearly four years ago, we have been approached hundreds of times by people asking when they are going to return.
“We always wanted the Giant spectaculars to be a trilogy, but the final instalment had to be at the right time, with the right story – and what better than for it to take place in a year in which we celebrate how culture has transformed the city.
“The event details are shrouded in mystery, and all we can reveal at the moment is the theme around their visit is Liverpool’s Dream – which is fitting as at the turn of the millennium this city could only dream of the cultural transformation it was about to embark upon
