Liverpool, get ready because on January 31st, the O2 Academy will be transformed into the loudest, wildest, most unapologetically high-voltage rock sanctuary the city has seen in years. Three of the UK’s most explosive tribute bands Guns 2 Roses, Metallica Reloaded, and Faith No Man are taking over the stage for one unforgettable night that promises to shake the walls, melt faces, and deliver a full-force blast of pure rock nostalgia.
If you’ve been craving the sound, the swagger, the chaos, and the adrenaline of classic rock in its most authentic form… then this is your night. And make no mistake tickets are flying, the hype is real, and once this lineup hits the stage, Liverpool will never forget it.
This isn’t just another tribute show.
This is a triple-headliner showdown, a celebration of three iconic bands whose legacies shaped entire generations. And on January 31st, those legacies come roaring back to life.
GUNS 2 ROSES Europe’s 1 GNR Experience Returns to Dominate Liverpool
Let’s start with the headliner that needs no introduction.
Guns 2 Roses isn’t just a tribute band they’re a phenomenon.
As the world’s longest-running Guns N’ Roses tribute, they’ve played on multiple continents, performed for millions, and even earned respect directly from members of the real GNR. Their authenticity is so intense, so razor-sharp, and so electric that many fans swear they forget they’re not watching the real thing.
Expect every anthem.
Every scream.
Every Slash-inspired solo dripping with swagger and distortion.
Welcome to the Jungle” will explode like a firestorm.
Paradise City” will shake the floor.
Sweet Child O’ Mine” will get the entire crowd singing at the top of their lungs.
Frontman Andi Guns channels Axl’s legendary charisma with uncanny precision — the moves, the attitude, the voice, the hurricane-of-chaos energy that defined late-80s Sunset Strip madness. When he hits that stage, the O2 Academy becomes the LA Forum, the Ritz, the golden era of Guns N’ Roses all over again.
And for one night only, Liverpool gets the full dose.
METALLICA RELOADED The Heavyweight Tribute That Brings the Thunder
If Guns 2 Roses brings the fire… Metallica Reloaded brings the earthquake.
Renowned as one of the UK’s most powerful Metallica tributes, these guys don’t just play Metallica they hit you with it. Hard. Their sound is thick, aggressive, and surgically precise, capturing Metallica’s studio punch and live fury in equal measure.
This is a setlist built for headbangers:
Enter Sandman a guaranteed eruption.
Master of Puppets a wall of sound that commands the crowd.
Nothing Else Matters the lighter-raising, phone-waving emotional core of the night.
Seek & Destroy the track that will turn the floor into a battlefield of pure energy.
From the thunder of the double-kick drums to the ripping down-picked riffs that James Hetfield made iconic, Metallica Reloaded delivers the real thing: precision, muscle, and adrenaline. They’ve toured relentlessly, built a massive fan base, and earned a reputation as the tribute band that Metallica fans swear by.
On January 31st, Liverpool won’t just hear Metallica it will feel Metallica.
FAITH NO MAN Faith No More’s Spirit Reborn
Completing this powerhouse trio is Faith No Man, one of the rare tribute acts dedicated to capturing the eccentric, experimental, genre-bending magic of Faith No More.
This is where things get unpredictable in the best way possible.
Faith No More was never a band that fit neatly into one category. They blended metal, funk, alternative rock, theatrical chaos, and “what-if-we-break-the-rules” creativity into something that influenced countless artists. And Faith No Man embraces that legacy with total commitment.
Expect:
Epic a fan favorite that will ignite the crowd.
Midlife Crisis a dark, emotional pulse with soaring vocals.
Falling to Pieces funk-laced heaviness and sharp attitude.
We Care a Lot the anthem that defined the start of the band’s reign.
Faith No Man leans into the weird, the wild, and the expressive just like the real thing. Their frontman channels Mike Patton’s iconic unpredictability, delivering a set that feels like controlled chaos wrapped in brilliance.
This is the perfect curveball in a night otherwise dominated by straight-up rock and metal brutality and fans are here for it.
A Night That Brings All Eras of Rock Together
Guns N’ Roses.
Metallica.
Faith No More.
Three bands born from three different corners of the rock universe all sharing one stage, one night, one mission:
Bring Liverpool the greatest tribute show of 2025.
Whether you grew up on late-80s sleaze rock, early-90s metal domination, or alternative experimental brilliance, this lineup hits every craving. It’s the kind of event that pulls in old-school rockers, younger fans discovering these legends for the first time, and everyone who just wants to escape into a night of live music that feels huge, nostalgic, and unforgettable.
And for one night only, these three worlds collide.
The Venue: O2 Academy Liverpool A Stage Built for Sonic Firestorms
The O2 Academy is no stranger to chaos, volume, sweat, and unforgettable nights. Its floors have held thousands of stomping boots, its walls have absorbed decades of guitar distortion, and its ceilings have heard countless crowds scream themselves hoarse.
On January 31st, the venue becomes ground zero for the biggest rock tribute event Liverpool will see all winter.
