A DECADE OF BACK TO THE DOCK — 10 YEARS STRONG
Back to the Dock: 10 Years — Always Putting the Ravers First
For a whole decade, Back to the Dock has been the heartbeat of Liverpool’s old skool & hardcore scene — and one thing never changed: Wes always invested heavily into the line-up.
From the very first parties in 2017 through to our 9th birthday in 2026, we never cut corners or chased profit. Instead, we spent every bit we could on the biggest, best, most legendary names in the game: Ratpack, Slipmatt, Top Buzz, Stu Allan, 2 Bad Mice, Shades of Rhythm, Altern 8, Ellis Dee, DJ SY, Billy Daniel Bunter, Mark EG, Vibes & Livelee, Lee Butler, Rob Tissera, Squad-E, Klubfiller, Dream Frequency — plus many more, and so many top MCs and live PAs.
We’ve also built incredible, regular collaborations with the legendary Amnesia House & Born 2 Collide — bringing together the very best of the scene under one roof.
Wes moved venues, grew bigger, and always brought you two full rooms of pure classics, euphoria, and heavy beats — but we never lost sight of why we started: for the ravers, by the ravers. No shortcuts, no cheap line-ups, just pure quality, every single time.
This event will start at 4pm — oldskool in the fully covered garden, and hardcore in the main tunnel.
This will be our biggest line-up to date.
10 years, hundreds of sets, thousands of happy ravers — and still the same rule: put the crowd first, book the best, and make every night unforgettable. That’s why Back to the Dock isn’t just a brand — it’s family, and it’s one of Liverpool’s most trusted rave names.
Join us on Saturday 20 February 2027 at WAV Liverpool as we celebrate a decade of proper raving. This is the one you don’t want to miss.
