What’s on in Liverpool
Musicals, theatre, comedy and gigs in Liverpool, from Lime Street to the waterfront, rated by the audience.
Most of Liverpool’s stages are within walking distance of Lime Street station, which makes it an easy city for a night out. This page lists every upcoming show in date order, with the average rating left by the audience on earlier performances.
The venues you will see most often:
- the Liverpool Empire, on Lime Street, opposite the station, for touring musicals, ballet and big-name comedy;
- the Everyman, on Hope Street, and the Playhouse, in Williamson Square, two producing theatres run together, for new plays, classics and the Everyman’s rock’n’roll pantomime;
- Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, on Hope Street, for orchestral concerts, gigs and stand-up;
- the M&S Bank Arena, at Kings Dock on the waterfront, for arena tours and comedy headliners.
Hope Street links the Everyman and the Philharmonic between the city’s two cathedrals, so it is worth checking both venues if you are planning an evening there. Venue reviews rate comfort, view and access separately from the show.
