Michael Jackson tribute concert headlined by artist CJ, recreating the King of Pop's greatest hits with choreography, light show and costumes.
Man in the Mirror comes to Derby Arena on Sunday 11 April 2027, a tribute concert to Michael Jackson. It's billed as a brand-new show, and the set focuses on recreating Jackson's style and charisma across his greatest hits. You'll hear Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, Smooth Criminal and Man in the Mirror — the songs that most people associate with him.
It's not just about the music, though. The show relies on dazzling choreography, stunning visual effects, a light show and authentic costumes to carry the room. It runs for about two hours and twenty minutes, including any interval, so it's a full evening rather than a short set. It's recommended for PG audiences, with under-16s needing to be accompanied by an adult.
On stage, the show stars CJ, who's billed as one of the world's top Michael Jackson tribute artists, supported by a cast of performers and musicians. The choreography and the visual side of things are a big part of the whole, so it's as much about the movement as it is about the songs.
