Outer Waves 2026: Liverpool’s Underground & Alternative Music Festival — May 23–24, 2026
Outer Waves 2026: Liverpool’s Underground Music and Arts Festival Returns — May 23–24, 2026. Following an acclaimed debut in 2025, Outer Waves Festival returns to Liverpool this spring for its second edition, taking place May 23–24, 2026, across Invisible Wind Factory and Make North Docks. Outer Waves is a weekend of boundary-pushing sound, performance, and art — a gathering for the curious and the sonically adventurous. This year’s programme brings together an international roster of artists exploring ritual, rhythm, and raw emotion in all their forms.
