Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates are now confirmed right through to early 2028, with the West End production playing more than 45 theatres, arenas and concert halls across England, Scotland and Wales. If you have been waiting for the show to reach your part of the country, this is the year. Fastlove, to use the production's official spelling, has built its reputation on live vocals, a full band and a video and lighting design that would not look out of place on a stadium tour. Below you will find every announced date, what tickets cost, what the setlist looks like and how to bring a George Michael tribute to your own event. If you enjoy tribute shows in general, our guide to the top tribute acts in the UK is a good companion read.
Fastlove is a full scale touring production celebrating the music of George Michael, from the Wham! years through to his final solo recordings. It arrived direct from London's West End and travels with a cast of singers and musicians rather than a single impersonator with backing tracks. The show is not affiliated with the George Michael estate, which is standard for tribute productions, but it has become one of the most consistently booked tribute tours on the UK theatre circuit. Its combination of nostalgia, musicianship and production values is why Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates sell out at venues from Dunoon to Dartford.
The current leg opens in Scotland in mid October and works south through November and December. These are the confirmed 2026 dates:
Wed 14 Oct 2026: Ayr, The Gaiety

Sat 5 Dec 2026: Ramsgate, Granville Theatre

Scottish fans get five dates in five days, which is rare for a touring tribute, and the Sunderland and Blackpool shows make a good December night out before the Christmas rush. The London date at Indigo at The O2 on 27 November is the one to watch. It is the largest standing venue on this leg and tends to attract fans travelling from across the South East, so it is usually the first to reach capacity.
The 2027 schedule is the longest the production has announced, covering January through to September with a Bath date already pencilled in for January 2028. Several venues are still marked as on sale soon, so if your nearest theatre is one of those, join its mailing list now.

Birmingham Symphony Hall and Newcastle O2 City Hall are the two prestige bookings of 2027. Both are seated concert halls with excellent acoustics, which suits the ballad heavy middle section of the show, and both are easy to reach by train for a night out from surrounding towns.
Expect to pay somewhere between £25 and £40 for most Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates, with regional theatres at the lower end and the larger concert halls at the top. Premium seats close to the stage at venues such as Symphony Hall can go higher. Group rates are often available for parties of ten or more, so it is worth asking the box office directly if you are organising a work social or a birthday outing.
Buy tickets for Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates from the venue box office or its official ticketing partner. The tour's own website, entertainers.uk, links through to the correct seller for each date. Resale platforms list the same seats at inflated prices and offer no protection if a date is rescheduled, which does happen with long tours. Treat any listing that is well above face value as a sign to look elsewhere.
The setlist at Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates runs chronologically, which gives the night a natural arc. The Wham! section brings Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Club Tropicana and I'm Your Man, usually with the bright jackets and choreography to match. The middle of the show moves into the Faith era with Father Figure, I Knew You Were Waiting and Faith itself, before a run of the big ballads including A Different Corner, Praying for Time and Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. Too Funky, Freedom! '90 and Fastlove drive the final stretch, and Careless Whisper closes almost every performance with the saxophone line played live.
Production is a step above most tribute shows. There is a full video wall running archive style footage and era specific graphics, a lighting rig designed for theatres rather than function rooms, and a live band that handles everything from the synth pop of 1984 to the gospel textures of the later albums. Running time is around two hours including an interval, and the audience is on its feet well before the encore. Many fans who have seen Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates in previous years return with friends, which tells you most of what you need to know about the experience.
A theatre show is one way to enjoy this music. The other is to bring the performance to you. Wedding receptions, milestone birthdays, corporate award nights and holiday park seasons all book George Michael tributes regularly, and the format is flexible enough to suit a 60 guest party or a 600 seat venue.
Nearly George Michael is the standout act on our roster. One of the original contestants on Stars in Their Eyes, he was recently voted tribute act of the year by the Entertainment Agents Association of Great Britain and performs the George Michael vocals completely live, either as a solo show with high quality backing tracks or with his own full band. Solo shows start from £675 for a midweek booking close to his base, while a full band production typically runs between £2,500 and £4,000 depending on location, set length and staging. You can view his profile, read customer reviews and check availability on our George Michael tribute act hire page, which also lists tributes by region.
Private sets usually run as one 60 minute block or two 45 minute sets around a meal. Special song requests, including Last Christmas for December events and Careless Whisper as a first dance, can normally be arranged if you ask at the booking stage.
If you want the full production with the video wall, the band and a crowd of a thousand singing along, the touring show is the answer, and the Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates above give you plenty of options. If you want the music at your own venue, on your own schedule, with a setlist built around your guests, a private booking wins. Plenty of fans do both: they catch the tour when it comes through and book a tribute for the next big celebration.
Cost comparison is simple. A group of twenty at a theatre show will spend roughly £600 to £800 on tickets before travel and drinks. A solo tribute act for the same twenty people costs a similar amount and gives you the performer for the whole evening. For larger parties the private booking becomes better value quickly.
Book early for Friday and Saturday Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates. Most 2026 listings on the current leg showed limited availability by early October, and the pattern will repeat for 2027. Check the venue's age guidance, as a few theatres recommend the show for over 14s because of the late finish rather than the content. Arrive early for the bar, because the interval queues at smaller venues are long, and plan transport home for a finish around 10pm.
If you are hosting a private booking, confirm stage space of roughly four by three metres for a solo act or six by four for a band, two separate power circuits, and whether the venue has a noise limiter. Agree a light meal and soft drinks for the performers, which is standard practice, and build a short break into the running order so the act can change between the Wham! and solo sets. Most venues already have these details on a technical sheet, so ask for it when you enquire.
Fast Love George Michael tribute tour dates stretch across more than a year and reach almost every region of the country, so there is no excuse to miss this one if you grew up with Faith on repeat. Whether you take your seat at Symphony Hall, Indigo at The O2 or your local theatre, or book a tribute for your own celebration, the songs do the heavy lifting.
