The Waterboys to play Salt & Tar, Bootle, held 14 Aug ’26

Legendary 80s band The Waterboys are appearing at Bootle’s Salt & Tar this summer.

Led by their captivating singer Mike Scott, The Waterboys released many classic albums, including Fisherman’s Blues and This is the Sea. The latter containing their finest moment, The Whole of the Moon. Don’t miss this energetic and communal performance!

Salt and Tar’s Music Festival is going ‘On Tour’ in 2026 and will be located at Lock and Quay, 2 Irlam Rd, Liverpool, Bootle L20 4AH.

It will be the same scale of music event, with the same size venue capacity, the same great atmosphere, the same friendly staff and the same number of tasty food vendors that were enjoyed at previous Salt and Tar music festival events. Their new temporary location at the Lock and Quay has a large scale event field with a beer garden and they are taking over the whole of the outdoor site.

Held: 14 August
