Restored ‘George Michael: The Faith Tour’ Heads to Cinemas in 2026 With 18-Track Live Album

The estate-backed release rebuilds a 1988 Paris performance from once-lost 35mm footage and opens with a Mary McCartney short featuring unheard interview audio.

Overview

  • Directed by longtime collaborators Andy Morahan and David Austin, the film is cut from a 14‑camera, 35mm shoot captured over two nights at Paris’s Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 1988.
  • A worldwide theatrical rollout is planned for later in 2026, with distributor, specific release dates, and territory details still to be announced.
  • An accompanying 18‑track live album titled The Faith Tour will feature previously unreleased performances from George Michael’s solo and Wham! catalogs via George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment.
  • The theatrical presentation will open with a short film by Mary McCartney that uses voiceover from an unheard George Michael interview and includes unseen images by photographer Herb Ritts plus behind‑the‑scenes material.
  • George Michael Entertainment and Mercury Studios are behind the project, which has restored and remastered the once‑unreleased concert film to present Michael’s original live vision.
