’80s Bash comes to Queen’s Park this summer

Derbyshire County Cricket Club is set to bring a party to Queen’s Park this Summer, adding to the town’s exciting range of events in 2024.

Stars of London’s West End will be bringing some of the biggest hits from one of music’s most prolific decades to Queen’s Park, Chesterfield, on Friday 28 June, as the ’80s Bash rolls into town.

From the epic anthems of Bon Jovi and Queen, to the iconic sounds of Blondie, ABBA, Duran Duran, Eurythmics and more, The 80’s Bash promises a sensational, hit-filled concert of classics celebrating the golden decade of music.

Led by an incredible West End band and singers, whether you’re a child of the ’80s or simply a lover of timeless tunes, this sensational party of pop and rock will have you singing and dancing all night long!

The event, which will take place the week before the BRM Chesterfield Festival of Cricket, is the latest music event to be hosted at Queen’s Park by Derbyshire County Cricket Club, following on from An Evening of Queen and An Evening of ABBA in recent years.

A very limited number of Super Early Bird tickets for this summer’s 80’s Bash are now open, with adults starting at just £17 and juniors from £5. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.

Eat in the Park festival set to return to Chesterfield in 2024

Eat in the Park, a family-friendly music and food festival which made its first appearance in Chesterfield earlier this year is set to return next summer.

The event, which sees dozens of acts including popular tribute bands, along with up-and-coming talent, will be back with more music, fun and entertainment in Queens Park on August 10th-11th 2024.

Last year’s festival saw just over 3,000 people per day in attendance, with thousands more expected to visit Chesterfield for the 2024 event.

Next year’s bumper line-up has already been confirmed, with tributes to Elton John and Take That set to headline the main stage.

Attendees will also enjoy tributes to well-known artists, such as Adele, Blur, The Stone Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, McBusted and Tina Turner.

Eat in the Park organisiers, Jake Burnham and George Darbyshire commented: “We were absolutely delighted to bring Eat In The Park to Chesterfield. We were blown away by the response and cannot wait for the event to grow within the two in 2024 and beyond.”

Speaking on the success of the 2023 event, the duo said: “The weather tried its best to dampen the mood but the amazing acts and entertainment won the battle over the weekend and it was absolutely brilliant to see the people of Chesterfield enjoying themselves.

“It is quite nervy coming into a new town with an event but we were delighted with the response. We have our identity and we have a sense of pride when we see people embracing it and enjoying Eat In The Park for what it is – a brilliant family event with incredible music, food & activities. Queens Park is the ideal venue for an event like ours. We cannot wait to return in 2024 .”

The event is launching a special Black Friday promotion for tickets this weekend, which will give fans access to the event at the cheapest available price for 72 hours starting on Friday, 24th November.

Tickets will be available on the festival’s website, and people can stay up to date with the festival on its Facebook and Instagram channels.
