London Symphonic Rock Orchestra

London Symphonic Rock Orchestra are playing Derby Arena on Thursday 4 November 2027, as part of their wider tour. They're a collective of twelve classically trained artists brought together by their love of rock music, and they've been playing since 2018. Since then, they've done more than 200 shows to over 400,000 fans and shared stages with the Trevor Horn Band and Queen Machine.

The set is built around reimagined versions of rock hits, played 100% live. They draw from a broad range of bands: AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses, Evanescence, Motörhead, Foo Fighters, Rage Against The Machine, System of a Down, and more. The orchestral arrangements take these songs and rework them, so you'll hear familiar melodies played with a full string and brass section rather than just guitars and drums.

There's a theatrical side to the show too. The musicians dress as rock warriors and play from within a candlelit fantasy forest, so it's as much about the stage set as it is about the music. The Derby date is one stop on their tour, and the setlist pulls from that same list of bands they've been covering across the run.

Doors open at 19:00 at Derby Arena, Royal Way, Pride Park, Derby, DE24 8JB. Tickets are £38.50 or £47.50, plus booking fee.
