Wham! 10 Days in China (2026)

1h 30m · Directed by Mike Christie

Starring George Michael, Andrew Ridgeley

In 1985, Wham! were the first Western pop group to perform in communist China. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s two concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou introduced live Western pop to Chinese audiences and marked a turning point for the band. For Wham!, the tour was more than music; it was a bold move to capture American attention and launch them into global superstardom, and it worked.
