If Faith still makes you dance, Careless Whisper still gives you goosebumps, or you can’t resist singing along the moment Freedom! ’90 kicks in — this is the night you’ve been waiting for. Introducing The George Michael Sunset Festival — a stunning, soulful, high-energy celebration of one of the greatest voices and performers of all time.
This is the UK’s only dedicated George Michael sunset festival, taking place right here in Liverpool — beginning in The Garden @ Wav indoor garden arena and ending with a silky-smooth, feel-good afterparty in the club room directly underneath. Think: the elegance of a George Michael concert mixed with the energy of a summer festival… without the rain, without the cold, and without the chaos of outdoor events.
From a live 80s/90s soul-pop warm-up band to a world-class George Michael tribute performance, followed by a late-night afterparty filled with Wham! hits, 80s anthems and nostalgic feel-good classics — this is one of the most stylish, uplifting and timeless nights in the entire 2026 programme.
Every guest receives a FREE branded festival lanyard and a George Michael cut-out face mask on entry. Picture it: hundreds of George Michaels — aviators, 80s swagger — all singing together under festival lighting.---------------------------------------------------
