George Michael’s Landmark ‘Faith Tour’ Coming to Cinemas and on Album in 2026

A restored and remastered concert film documenting George Michael’s iconic 1988 ‘Faith Tour’ will be released in cinemas worldwide this year, accompanied by an 18-track live album of previously unheard performances.

Filmed at the Height of His Powers

The film, titled George Michael: The Faith Tour, features footage shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France, during the European leg of the tour. The performance was captured over two nights using 14 cameras on 35mm film as reported by Deadline. Directed by Andy Morahan and David Austin, longtime collaborators of Michael, the film showcases the singer at age 24, during the peak of his career.

A Cultural Moment Captured

The theatrical release will begin with an original short film, Finding Faith, directed by photographer Mary McCartney. This short film will contextualize the tour’s cultural significance, featuring a previously unheard interview with Michael, unseen images by photographer Herb Ritts, and behind-the-scenes footage from the “Faith” music video according to Attitude.

‘The Faith Tour’ Album

Alongside the film, an 18-track live album, The Faith Tour, will be released. The album will include previously unreleased recordings from Michael’s performances during the tour, encompassing both his solo operate and songs from his time with Wham! as detailed by Deadline. The album is a collaboration between George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment.

The ‘Faith’ Tour Legacy

Michael’s ‘Faith’ tour was his first solo concert tour, supporting his debut solo album of the same name, released in 1987. The album sold over 25 million copies worldwide and remained in the Billboard 200 top 10 for 51 weeks as noted by Deadline.

George Michael passed away on December 25, 2016, and his music continues to be celebrated by fans and fellow artists. Recent tributes include covers of his songs by Kae Tempest and Poppy, and an interpolation of his song “Father Figure” by Taylor Swift as reported by Deadline.
