The city’s waterfront is set for a huge Spring and Summer of unmissable events

Liverpool’s waterfront events campus is gearing up for an unforgettable season packed with top-tier entertainment.

Liverpool’s iconic waterfront events campus is packed with top-tier entertainment, from big-name music legends and epic family days out to sports showdowns and immersive art experiences.

Whether you’re into chart-topping anthems, world-class exhibitions, laugh-out-loud comedy or high-energy sporting action, there’s something for everyone on this year’s jam-packed line-up.

Big names are heading to the waterfront to light up the stage in 2025. Global superstar Diana Ross brings the hits, while Bryan Adams and Kylie Minogue are both set to get the crowd singing with their legendary back catalogues. Olly Murs will bring the feel-good vibes, and blues icon Joe Bonamassa is lined up for a powerhouse performance. And don’t miss a huge homecoming moment for Liverpool’s own Holly Johnson, frontman of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, with a show that promises nothing but pure nostalgia.

The much-loved Indoor Funfair is back (until 21 April, and again this summer), and Comic Con Liverpool is bringing a weekend of big names and pop culture fun. Fans can see Torvill and Dean on their farewell tour, the kids can join Ryder and the gang at Paw Patrol Live, and there’s all the high-octane action of WWE Live for wrestling fans too.

It’s a big season for sports fans as the waterfront welcomes some major fixtures. Premier League Darts is sure to bring the buzz, and Netball Super League action arrives with Manchester Thunder taking on Birmingham Panthers. The Hybrid Games push competitors to their limits, and Reds fans will be out in full force for The Red Weekender as Liverpool wraps up the Premier League season.

Art lovers can step into the worlds of Van Gogh and Monet with spectacular immersive experiences, while The All-Ears Poetry Expo brings spoken word into the spotlight. Horizon MersEsports Festival is the place to be for gamers, and tattoo fans won’t want to miss The Docks Tattoo and Arts Expo. Plus, The Ultimate Show returns for car fanatics and motoring enthusiasts.

This year’s waterfront programme is just getting started. With even more dates and premium experiences to be revealed soon, make sure to keep your eyes on updates as the city gets ready for a Spring and Summer like no other.
