Cream HQ have kept fans guessing over the last week, following a cryptic ‘sign up’ message on socials and it seems that was all that was needed as over 40,000 people have already signed up for presale.

Cream Classical has staged an unprecedented series of sell out shows since its inception in 2016, staging the first of many events at Liverpool Cathedral and attracting over 35,000 people to the first ever ‘Cream Classical in The Park’ in 2019. This summer’s return will see it take over yet another iconic landmark in the city, with Liverpool’s ‘Three Graces’ and the waterfront as its stunning backdrop.

A Cream spokesperson said:

“We’re excited to bring Cream Classical back this Summer for what will be the biggest show for the city in over a year. Demand has never been greater for the return of live music, and this will be a great celebration to bring fans together safely after a 12 month shutdown due to the pandemic. The stunning location also holds great memories, marking 21 years since our last show at the Pier Head for the Millennium”.
