If the opening riff of Paranoid still fires you up, if Detroit Rock City makes you want to throw the horns up, and if War Pigs and I Was Made for Lovin’ You still hit like pure rock electricity — this is your night. Introducing the Black Sabbath vs KISS Sunset Festival — a heavy, theatrical, high-voltage rock celebration packed with live music, atmosphere, and those explosive festival moments only these two legendary bands inspire.
This is the UK’s only dedicated Sabbath vs KISS sunset festival, taking place right here in Liverpool — beginning in The Garden @ Wav indoor garden arena and finishing in the club room directly underneath. Think the power of a Sabbath arena show… the spectacle of a KISS concert… and the energy of a rock festival — without the mud, rain or £12 pints.
From a rock-driven warm-up act to a full double-headline live tribute bands! Followed by a late-night afterparty featuring classic rock, metal anthems and alternative remixes — this is one of the loudest, most high-energy nights in the entire 2026 programme.
Every guest receives a FREE branded festival lanyard and a Sabbath/KISS-inspired cut-out mask on entry. Picture it: hundreds of rock fans singing, roaring, headbanging and lighting up the Garden together.

🌅 The Garden @ Wav – The Sunset Festival Edition
Liverpool’s most unique indoor-outdoor venue — clear roof, heating, giant LED wall, arena-level lighting, artificial grass floor, and molten-orange festival beams that instantly put you in stadium rock mode.
☀️ Warm night? Cooling keeps the venue perfectly comfortable.
🌧️ Raining? Doesn’t matter — the clear roof keeps the atmosphere thunderous.
At 22:00, the entire crowd moves downstairs — into our underground tunnel-club, recently voted Top 8 Event Spaces in Liverpool, transformed for a rock/alternative afterparty with guitars, remixes and late-night festival energy.
And yes — the afterparty is completely free with your ticket.
If you can’t stay late, the main Garden show alone will blow you away.
