Jamie Webster will headline the On the Waterfront gigs when the series returns to the Pier Head next summer.
The singer, who last weekend performed at the M&S Bank Arena for the first time, will take to the stage on June 30 for his first major headline outdoor show, in front of the Three Graces. He will be joined on stage by fellow bandmates Lighting Seeds bassist Tim Cunningham and Mick Head’s Red Elastic Band guitarist Danny Murphy.
The announcement comes on the back of a UK and Ireland headline tour and a Glastonbury performance, along with the release of his second album ‘Moments’. Following his sell out show at the arena last weekend, Jamie said: “Announcing an outdoor headline show in Liverpool is a dream come true. Right on the River Mersey, under the Liver birds, I can’t put into words what it will mean to me seeing thousands of you on the Pier Head next Summer.

“It’s my biggest show to date, all standing, it’s gonna be a night to remember. Playing shows like this is all down to my fans and I can’t thank you all enough. What a show this is going to be. My City, My People, My Heart.”
Also confirmed for On the Waterfront 2023 is Camelphat, who will headline on Saturday, July 1. The Grammy nominated Liverpool due headlined the event last year, in what was their biggest and fastest selling show to date in the city.
They said: “We are absolutely buzzing to be invited back to headline at the Liverpool Waterfront once again. This is such a unique opportunity to finally return home and produce a show worthy of the location. The memories created from last year’s event will be with us forever, it's truly an experience like no other. Hopefully with the line-up we’re putting together this year can be even more spectacular!”
The all-day festival forms part of a long weekend of entertainment, with Liverpool’s iconic Three Graces and River Mersey as its stunning backdrop. More dates and acts are to be announced.
