Distributed by Universal Pictures International France, this 1h53 program has been fully restored from footage shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on May 30–31, 1988, during George Michael's first solo tour.
In Paris, the film will premiere with a special screening on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 6:00 PM in the Grand Hall of the Grand Rex. The screening will be shown in its original version with French subtitles, at a fixed price of 14 euros. Ticket sales open on October 1.
The Faith Tour supported George Michael's debut solo album, released in 1987 after his years with Wham!. The tour began in February 1988 at the Budokan in Tokyo before traveling to 16 countries across 109 concerts in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. The album Faith, which earned the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, includes such tracks as Faith, Father Figure, One More Try and Monkey.
The trailer for George Michael: The Faith Tour:
Before the concert, audiences will be treated to Finding Faith, a ten-minute unreleased short film by Mary McCartney. It draws on archived audio recordings and found footage from the 1986-1988 period to situate the tour within this pivotal moment in George Michael’s career.
The concert gathers the key tracks from Faith, along with several Wham! classics, including Everything She Wants and I’m Your Man. George Michael also delivers some covers, such as Stevie Wonder’s Love’s in Need of Love Today and Labelle’s Lady Marmalade. An unreleased track by the artist also accompanies the end credits.
Shot on 35mm and long kept in the archives of Sony and George Michael Entertainment, the footage has been restored for its theatrical release. The concert's sound was remixed and remastered with sound engineer Chris Porter, the singer's longtime collaborator, and then adapted for immersive spatial audio.
This restoration is paired with a worldwide release on November 6, 2026 of the live album George Michael: The Faith Tour. It brings together 18 previously unreleased recordings from the Paris-Bercy shows. Several editions are planned, including a double CD, various vinyl options, and a box set featuring three vinyl records, two CDs, and a 136-page book devoted to the tour.
