People from the Burton and South Derbyshire area who have tickets for concerts which were due to take place at Manchester Arena have been finding out if and when their gigs will now take place. The arena has been closed since a suicide bomber detonated a device which killed 22 people and injured 129.

The venue had a packed calendar of events lined up and is popular with people from this area as it is only just over two hours away by car. It has hosted gigs by top artists, including Britney Spears, Beyonce and the Rolling Stones.

In the attack, which took place on Monday, May 22, at the end of an Ariana Grande concert, a bomb was detonated in the main foyer of the arena, causing devastation to the building and the lives of concert-goers. Since then the arena has been undergoing repairs.

It can be hard to work out what concerts have been rescheduled and to when, so we’ve compiled a list of all the concerts that were supposed to take place and what has happened to them.
