Your Mate's Ex & Lilly Sphire

Your Mate's Ex are playing Mr Shaw's House on Monday 25 January, with Lilly Sphire sharing the bill. It's part of Independent Venue Week 2027, so it's one of the nights the city's smaller stages are putting on for the week.

Your Mate's Ex bring Manchester rave and bloghouse-inspired electronic sounds to the night. If those terms don't ring a bell, think back to the dancefloors of the mid-to-late 2000s — the kind of high-energy, synth-heavy electronic music that sat somewhere between a club night and a live gig. It's that same energy they're bringing to Derby, and they're not playing alone: Lilly Sphire is on the bill too, so you'll get two acts in one night.

Mr Shaw's House is at 49 Sadler Gate, right in the centre of town. The night is open to over-14s, so it's not just for the older crowd — it's an all-ages affair. Tickets are sold through Skiddle, and since it's part of IVW, it's one of the many dates happening across the city that week.

Doors open at 19:00, and last entry is 20:00, so if you're coming from work or from across town, you've got a good window to get in before things get properly underway. The night wraps up by 22:00, which makes it an easy one to fit in on a Monday without ruining your Tuesday morning.
