21 can’t-miss tours coming to Derbyshire in 2025 - including Chris McAusland and Alison Moyet

It’s only been just over a week since the start of 2025, but for those in Derbyshire there’s already a plethora of entertainment coming to the area across the next 12 months.

While of course Download Festival in Castle Donnington is set to once again be a beacon for the metal and alternative community across the United Kingdom, we know that for some of you (and myself), the idea of camping and loud music might not be our cup of tea these days.

So what else is on offer across areas such as Derby, Chesterfield and Buxton? We’ve taken a look through websites such as Ticketmaster, See Tickets and ATG Tickets to bring you 21 tours and events taking place throughout 2025 that have already been announced.

But of course, we anticipate a few more tours to be announced and a few more acts heading to the area before the end of February and early March - so stay tuned.

Until then though, here’s our picks of the touring shows coming to Derbyshire (so far) in 2025; read on to find out more and hopefully find a reason to fill in that new planner you got as a stocking filler over Christmas.
