Do you happen to be one of those people who seem to be gifted diaries, calendars or personal planners for Christmas not knowing how to react or what to do with them?
Why not start filling in some of those blank pages before the new year with an array of huge musical events taking place across the East Midlands in 2025 - as an idea at least?
Be it the final bow Torvill and Dean are set to make during their farewell tour through to Lincoln Castle hosting a specular line-up of world-renowned musicians, we’ve selected 25 of those huge shows coming to the East Midlands in the new year.
If one of these events also happen to take your fancy, you’re nice and early (for many of the shows at least) to grab a ticket from one of the range of ticketing agents selling tickets and hospitality packages - be it from Ticketmaster, See Tickets or for the more “theatrical” events ATG Tickets.
So, what’s our picks for the year ahead in the East Midlands? Read on to find out.
