As the New Year begins, we are celebrating the successes of the live entertainment that adorned the Derby Arena stage in 2022. Two of which, Fairytale of New York and Lost in Music, are set to return once again to fill the Arena with the sound of live music and audience cheers in November 2023.

First to take to the stage is Fairytale of New York on Wed 1 Nov.
