On The Waterfront 2027 first headliner revealed

Jamie Webster is set to headline On the Waterfront’s return next year.

Liverpool’s landmark summer event will return for a sixth year running from June 17 to 20, 2027 with the hometown favourite taking to the stage on Friday, June 18.

Webster returns to home city for a huge headline performance alongside local band The Cheap Thrills, who have also been confirmed for the line-up on the evening.

Since the release of his debut album ‘We Get By’ in 2020, which topped the UK Folk Albums Chart, the Liverpool singer-songwriter has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in British music.

Renowned for his passionate live performances and honest, relatable songwriting, Webster has built a devoted following, with anthemic tracks including ‘Weekend In Paradise’ and songs from his acclaimed second album ‘Moments’ striking a chord with fans nationwide.

His return to the banks of the Mersey promises a huge hometown celebration, with The Cheap Thrills also bringing their infectious indie-rock sound and high-energy live show to the waterfront.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Liverpool’s world-famous waterfront, On the Waterfront has established itself as one of the city’s standout summer events, bringing world-class live music to one of the UK’s most spectacular outdoor settings.

More artists will be confirmed for the four-day concert series in due course.

Tickets for Jamie Webster go on general sale at 10am on Friday, October 30.
