Holly Johnson returns to Liverpool with ‘Welcome To The Pleasuredome’ 40th anniversary tour

The six-date tour, scheduled for June 2025, will feature a show at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena.

Music legend and global LGBTQ+ icon Holly Johnson has announced the “Welcome To The Pleasuredome” 40th Anniversary Tour, celebrating four decades since the release of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s iconic debut album.

After his critically acclaimed 2023 shows, and his headline act at Liverpool Celebrates, Holly Johnson is returning to the stage with an all-new production that promises to bring the magic of the 80s back to life.

Fans can expect to hear timeless anthems that defined a generation, including the chart-topping “Relax,” the politically charged “Two Tribes,” and the beautiful “The Power of Love.”

To coincide with the anniversary tour, a brand-new exhibition, “The Holly Johnson Story,” will open at the Museum of Liverpool on September 14, 2024, running until Sunday, July 27, 2025.

This landmark exhibit offers a deep dive into the life and career of the legendary singer, exploring Holly’s journey from his Liverpool roots to global stardom.

The exhibition will feature a collection of costumes, memorabilia, and personal stories from those impacted by HIV, alongside Holly’s own artwork.

Visitors will be taken on a journey through Holly’s life, his musical triumphs, personal struggles, and his role as a pioneering LGBTQ+ figure.

The exhibition aims to celebrate his influence on pop culture and his enduring impact as a voice for the LGBTQ+ community. For more information on the exhibition, visit HERE.
