Nottingham, 24/09/2027

Nottingham, prepare for an unforgettable Friday evening filled with beautiful music, romance and celebration — on 24 September 2027, André Rieu and his world-renowned Johann Strauss Orchestra will return to Motorpoint Arena Nottingham for a spectacular concert in the heart of the East Midlands. This highly anticipated performance promises a wonderful combination of timeless Viennese waltzes, emotional melodies and orchestral masterpieces, bringing the unmistakable charm of the “King of the Waltz” back to one of England’s most historic cities.
The announcement marks another exciting opportunity for music lovers across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands to experience André Rieu live. The Dutch violinist and conductor has built an extraordinary international following through concerts that combine classical elegance with theatrical spectacle, warmth and humour. His return to Nottingham in September 2027 will bring that distinctive atmosphere to thousands of fans.
Accompanied by his magnificent Johann Strauss Orchestra, talented soloists and special guests, Rieu will present a colourful musical programme featuring romantic waltzes, beloved classical masterpieces, opera favourites, memorable film music and popular melodies. Elaborate costumes, impressive stage scenery and atmospheric lighting will add another dimension to the performance, creating an evening designed to entertain audiences of every generation.
The setting for this special concert will be Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, located at Bolero Square in the city’s historic Lace Market district. Opened in 2000 as part of the National Ice Centre complex, the arena has become one of the East Midlands’ most important entertainment venues, regularly welcoming major international artists, sporting events and large-scale productions.
With a concert capacity of approximately 10,000 spectators in seated configurations, Motorpoint Arena provides an impressive setting for André Rieu’s orchestral performances. Its central location makes it particularly convenient for visitors travelling from across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and neighbouring regions.
For André Rieu, however, the real magic of a concert lies in the connection between the orchestra and its audience. His performances are famous for transforming enormous arenas into places of warmth and togetherness. A delicate violin solo can create a moment of quiet emotion, while the opening notes of a familiar Strauss waltz can suddenly have thousands of spectators smiling, clapping and swaying together.
The 24 September 2027 Nottingham concert forms part of a busy three-night sequence on André Rieu’s UK tour. Following a performance at OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Thursday, 23 September, the orchestra will travel south to Nottingham before continuing to bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham on Saturday, 25 September. This sequence offers audiences across Britain several opportunities to experience the maestro’s latest touring production.
Nottingham itself provides an attractive setting for a memorable concert visit. Known for its connections to the legend of Robin Hood, the city combines medieval history with a lively modern cultural scene. Visitors can explore Nottingham Castle, discover the historic Lace Market or enjoy the restaurants and cafés of the city centre before making their way to the arena.
The arena’s location within walking distance of many central Nottingham attractions also makes it easy to combine the concert with an overnight stay. For fans travelling from elsewhere in the Midlands or further afield, the Friday evening performance offers an excellent opportunity to turn the event into a relaxing autumn weekend.
André Rieu remains one of the world’s most successful touring classical musicians, with more than 40 million albums sold worldwide and hundreds of thousands of concertgoers attending his performances annually. His enduring popularity reflects his ability to make orchestral music accessible, emotional and entertaining without losing the elegance and musical excellence that have defined his career.
The Nottingham performance promises all the elements that have made Rieu’s international tours so popular: sweeping waltzes, beautiful violin solos, powerful orchestral arrangements and moments of humour and celebration. Whether listening quietly to a romantic melody or joining thousands of fellow spectators in applause, audiences can expect an evening that feels both grand and wonderfully personal.
