If Faith still makes you dance, Careless Whisper still gives you goosebumps, or you can’t resist singing along the moment Freedom! ’90 kicks in — this is the night you’ve been waiting for. Introducing The George Michael Sunset Festival — a stunning, soulful, high-energy celebration of one of the greatest voices and performers of all time.
This is the UK’s only dedicated George Michael sunset festival, taking place right here in Liverpool — beginning in The Garden @ Wav indoor garden arena and ending with a silky-smooth, feel-good afterparty in the club room directly underneath. Think: the elegance of a George Michael concert mixed with the energy of a summer festival… without the rain, without the cold, and without the chaos of outdoor events.
From a live 80s/90s soul-pop warm-up band to a world-class George Michael tribute performance, followed by a late-night afterparty filled with Wham! hits, 80s anthems and nostalgic feel-good classics — this is one of the most stylish, uplifting and timeless nights in the entire 2026 programme.
Every guest receives a FREE branded festival lanyard and a George Michael cut-out face mask on entry. Picture it: hundreds of George Michaels — aviators, 80s swagger — all singing together under festival lighting.

🌅 The Garden @ Wav – The Sunset Festival Edition
Liverpool’s most unique indoor-outdoor venue — clear roof, heating, a huge festival stage, giant LED wall, arena-standard lighting and artificial grass flooring that instantly puts you in “summer concert mode.”
☀️ Warm night? Our cooling system keeps the venue perfectly comfortable.
🌧️ Raining? Doesn’t matter — the clear roof means the concert continues exactly as planned.
At 22:00, the full crowd moves downstairs — into our underground tunnel-club, recently voted Top 8 Event Spaces in Liverpool, transformed into a smooth, retro, soulful afterparty with Wham! hits, 80s disco and singalong anthems until late.
And yes — the afterparty is completely free with your ticket.
If you can’t stay late, the main Garden show alone is worth the night.
