Music producer Pete Waterman is bringing a large outdoor dance event called The Hitman Returns to Old Market Square in Warrington, Cheshire, on July 11, 2026. This ticketed evening will turn the town centre into an open-air club featuring popular music and live performances.
The show at Golden Square features a headline DJ set from Waterman and music from 90s groups including Cappella, Porn Kings, and Alex Party. Spike Dawbarn from the band 911 is also performing a DJ set and is helping to run the night alongside Chris Hodgkinson from HC Promotions.
Organisers expect more than 2,000 people to attend the event in the town’s primary shopping district. The night serves as a tribute to the television show The Hitman and Her and the former local nightclub known as Mr Smith’s.
This event will bring more visitors to the town centre in the evening, which may lead to busier car parks and more activity in local businesses. It offers residents a chance to see major music acts without the need to travel to larger nearby cities.
Tickets for the summer show went on sale on February 6, 2026. People can buy tickets for the performance at the Old Market Square through online booking websites like Skiddle and Eventbrite.
