The first headliner for On the Waterfront 2025 has been announced: the legendary 17-time Grammy Award-winning artist STING!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 22, 2025, as he returns to Liverpool with his highly anticipated STING 3.0 world tour, it’s going to be a night to remember.

Joining STING on stage are guitarist and longtime collaborator Dominic Miller, along with drummer Chris Maas, known for his work with Mumford & Sons and Maggie Rogers. Together, they will deliver an electrifying performance filled with classic hits and rare gems from Sting’s extensive back catalogue.

The STING 3.0 world tour launched this summer in Europe and has already captivated audiences in North America, receiving rave reviews.

The Oakland Press described the experience as “the kind of night—world-class performers, and performance, in an intimate space—that gets talked about for years.” Meanwhile, the Detroit Free Press praised the show’s ability to connect Sting’s Police classics with his solo jazz-inspired excursions, highlighting the seamless songwriting that ties it all together.

Known for his groundbreaking work as a solo artist and as the iconic frontman of The Police, Sting has continually pushed the boundaries of musical innovation.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Liverpool’s waterfront, framed by the Three Graces and the River Mersey, On the Waterfront 2025 is the perfect setting for a four-day celebration of live music.
