Liverpool’s landmark summer concert series On the Waterfront returns for its fifth edition in 2026, unveiling a stellar line-up of headliners including the legendary Paul Weller, hometown heroes Red Rum Club, and a special 10 Years of Cream Classical celebration, joining previously announced headliners Snow Patrol.

The four-day celebration of live music will once again take over Liverpool’s iconic Pier Head from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st June 2026, set against the stunning backdrop of the River Mersey and the Three Graces.

Now firmly established as a highlight of the UK’s festival calendar, On the Waterfront continues to capture Liverpool’s vibrant spirit and deep-rooted love of live music, bringing together global icons and homegrown talent for an unforgettable weekend on the banks of the Mersey.

Saturday 20th June sees the return of Cream Classical, a truly unmissable experience that has redefined what a dance music show can be. Over the last decade, this spine-tingling performance has united generations of clubbers, from those who lived the legendary Cream nights of the 90’s to today's dance music fans, delivering euphoric moments of some of the superclubs' biggest tracks like you’ve never heard before. In 2026, the magic reaches new heights as Cream Classical marks its 10th Anniversary, promising a spectacular, once in a decade celebration of one of Liverpool’s most iconic musical legacies.
