On the Waterfront festival Liverpool: Everything you need to know including line-up, can I still get tickets?

The On The Waterfront festival kicks off in Liverpool tonight, with thousands of fans expected to descend on Pier Head to see a range of massive acts including the city’s own Jamie Webster. Much like the festival’s debut in 2021, organisers said On The Waterfront 2023 promises to be” one of the events of the summer, with a fantastic location, stunning production, world-class talent, and an always up-for-it crowd”.

“Set neatly in the shadow of the city’s Three Graces on one side, with the River Mersey on the other, the location is tough to beat and makes for a stunning atmosphere as the sun starts to set and the lights go up on the stage and the Liver Building itself,” they added.

Here’s everything you need to know including dates, full line-up and if last minute tickets are available.
