What's On in Liverpool

Manilow - The Last Last Concert — Yes, he said farewell before — but this time Barry Manilow means it, and M&S Bank Arena is the place to witness what promises to be a genuinely historic night of showbiz glamour. Expect swooping orchestrations, an audience singing every word at full lung capacity, and the kind of unabashed emotion that only a true entertainer of fifty-plus years can conjure. Check the website for tickets before they are gone for good.

Come Together - Disco & House Day Party — Wav Garden opens its doors at 2:00pm for what looks set to be one of the summer's great afternoon escapes, wrapping classic disco grooves around warm house beats in a setting that begs you to dance before the sun even thinks about going down. Tickets are priced at £10–£25, making it an absolute steal for the hours of feel-good music on offer. Arrive early, find your spot, and let the bass do the talking.

Shalamar: The Gold Tour - A Fifty Year Celebration — Half a century of hits — A Night to Remember, I Can Make You Feel Good, and a catalogue that shaped a generation of dancefloors — celebrated live at the magnificent Liverpool Philharmonic Hall at 7:30pm. Shalamar remain one of the most joyful live acts you can catch, all gliding choreography and irresistible rhythm-and-soul energy. Check the website for tickets and get there early to soak in the atmosphere of this beautiful venue.

Double Headline Comedy Show - Hot Water Comedy Club — Tucked inside Blackstock Market from 4:00pm, Hot Water's double headline bill offers some of the sharpest stand-up in the city for the remarkably reasonable price of £0–£5 — yes, you read that right. It is the kind of loose, buzzing afternoon show where the laughs feel spontaneous and the comedians are clearly having as much fun as the crowd. Grab a drink, grab a seat, and let someone else do all the hard work of being funny.

On The Level : ALL VINYL ALL DISCO — If the warm crackle of a needle hitting a twelve-inch does something to your soul, get yourself to Commune Liverpool at 3:00pm for a set played entirely from vinyl, entirely disco, and entirely essential. At just £5–£10 on the door, this is the city's most lovingly curated afternoon for anyone who believes no digital format will ever quite capture the warmth of a Studio 54-era groove. Wear something you can actually move in.

Qatar v Switzerland : World Cup 2026 Screening Liverpool — The World Cup is here, and Boxpark Liverpool is the place to watch it — with a crowd that turns every tackle and every goal into a communal event from 7:00pm. Priced at £0–£15, it is one of the most accessible ways to feel the tournament's electricity with hundreds of fellow fans around you. And if that is not enough, stick around: Brazil v Morocco kicks off at the same venue at 10:00pm.
