Filming took place on 30 and 31 May 1988 across two consecutive shows at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris. On 10 March 2026, George Michael Entertainment in partnership with Mercury Studios announced the release of the never-before-seen film which will premiere in cinemas worldwide later in the year.
Synopsis
The theatrical release of the film will be opened by a short film by Mary McCartney entitled Finding Faith.[4] The short will feature unseen photographs of Michael by American photographer Herb Ritts, a voice-over interview by Michael, as well as behind-the-scenes footage from the music video shoot for "Faith".[5] The concert footage is for the 30 and 31 May 1988 in Paris during the Faith Tour, the first headlining solo concert tour by the English singer-songwriter George Michael. Representing Michael's discography from Wham! to his solo debut album Faith, it depicts performances of most songs on the tour's set list.[4]
Production
The global tour, which began in February 1988, spanned nine months in fifteen countries until October the same year, with three final shows in the summer of 1989. The film's principal photography took place over two consecutive nights, on 30 and 31 May 1988 during the European leg at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, using 14-cameras captured on 35mm film.[6] This performance was considered a once lost film with the film now being restored and remastered.[7][8]
Release
In July 2026, Bleecker Street acquired North American distribution rights to the documentary under its Crosswalk label, with the Universal Pictures Content Group taking international rights; both companies plan to release the film theatrically later in the year.[9]
