Festive rock show coming to M&S Bank Arena this Christmas

A classic rock show with a festive twist is coming to Liverpool this December for what will be one of the city's first socially distanced concerts.

The one-off show will take place on Friday, December 18, where bands will play tribute to classic rock greats such as Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Steely Dan, Van Halen, AC/DC, Queen, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and The Who.

According to the arena's website the show will take fans on a "musical journey through two and a half hours of Classic Rock’s finest moments culminating in a show-stopping guitar duel".

However because it will be the festive season, fans are also being promised some Christmas classics too such as Fairytale Of New York, Merry Christmas Everybody, I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday and Santa Clause is Coming To Town.

In order for audience members to adhere to social distancing, tickets will be sold in singles, pairs and groups of three, four, five or six.

Due to Government guidelines, bookings should only be in groups from one household or support bubble.

You can book your tickets here.

Other safety measures which will be in place:

  • Reduced seating capacity
  • 1 metre + social distancing in the arena
  • A one-way system will be in place around the entire venue
  • Hand sanitiser stations available throughout the venue
  • The arena will be deep cleaned after each performance and treated with anti-viral spray
  • NHS Covid 19 app QR Codes at all entrances for Test and Trace
