Liverpool is set for a year of huge performances at the M&S Bank Arena in 2024.
In 2023, a host of talent took to the stage, with big acts like Sir Elton John, Busted and S Club 7 making an appearance. That's not to mention the mammoth event that was Eurovision.
There may not be any huge song contests coming to the arena this year, but there is a wealth of talent set to perform at the huge venue over the next 12 months.
These include long-established acts such as Rick Astley, known for his 'Never Gonna Give You Up' hit that has been an ear-worm since its release in the 80s, and Girls Aloud, who are set to go on a tour of the country performing some of their greatest hits after reuniting.
An array of some of the country's biggest names in comedy will also be performing at the M&S Bank Arena this year, including Michael McIntyre and Jason Manford.
Here we list the biggest names and acts set to come to the M&S Bank Arena in the coming year, in order of date.
