Liverpool's On the Waterfront full line-up for 2025 event

On the Waterfront returns to Liverpool this summer with four huge shows over one long weekend on the city’s Pier Head.

The full line-up has now been finalised for this year's music event which takes place between June 19-22.

It kicks off on Thursday, June 19 with Liverpool band The Wombats performing their biggest homecoming show to date.

The group’s members met as teenagers while they were studying at LIPA and went on to take the indie rock scene by storm, with their 2007 debut album which featured the hit singles Let’s Dance to Joy Division, Moving to New York and Kill the Director.

They will be supported at the June 19 date by Corella, Overpass and Keyside.

On June 20, legendary Irish group The Wolfe Tones will take to the Pier Head stage for their farewell English show – joined by fellow Irish acts The Scratch, The Highstool Prophets and Shea Doolin.

Cream Classical Ibiza takes over the waterfront on June 21 featuring the 50-piece Kaleidoscope Orchestra curated by K-Klass and with special guests Groove Armada. The event will also involve a jam-packed DJ line-up from some of the superclub’s biggest players.

And then on Sunday, June 22, Sting headlines the final day of the festival, bringing his new power trio 3.0 to the Mersey as part of a world tour.

Appearing alongside virtuoso guitarist and long-time collaborator Dominic Miller and dynamic drummer Chris Maas, expect both hits and rarities from Sting’s huge catalogue of songs.

Last year's open-air festival attracted more 45,000 music lovers to the city's iconic waterfront.

On the Waterfront takes place at Liverpool’s Pier Head from June 19-22. More details and tickets HERE
