Pablo Carrizo Live in Derby: Indie Night Takes Over Mr Shaws House on 21 March 2026

Derby’s live music calendar for 2026 is already heating up, and Saturday 21 March 2026 is shaping up to be one of the standout nights of the year. Brought to you by The Indie Night, the fast-rising Pablo Carrizo returns to Derby for a huge headline show at Mr Shaws House, promising an electric atmosphere, huge choruses and the kind of raw, youth-fuelled energy that has been packing out venues across the UK.

With tickets priced at just £10, this is set to be one of the best value indie gigs in Derby this spring-and if Pablo’s recent track record is anything to go by, they won’t hang around for long.

Pablo Carrizo Returns to Derby-Bigger Than Ever

Hull’s breakout indie talent has been on a relentless upward trajectory. Fresh from sell-out headline shows, national radio plays on BBC Introducing and Radio X, and performing his Hull FC club anthem live on Sky Sports in front of 21,000 fans, Pablo Carrizo is not just building momentum-he is accelerating.

For Derby gig-goers who saw him on previous visits, you’ll know exactly what to expect: soaring indie hooks, stadium-ready choruses and a frontman who gives absolutely everything to the room.

For those who haven’t? This is your moment.

From Humber Street to the Big Stage

Before even releasing his debut single, Pablo had already:

• Sold out headline gigs months in advance
• Played major festival slots including Tha Knows Festival alongside The Lottery Winners, The Clause and The Lilacs
• Taken to the main stage at Humber Street Sesh (18,000 capacity)
• Performed at This Feeling By The Sea
• Supported The Rosadocs (four times)
• Shared bills with Andrew Cushin, Alex Spencer, The Lilacs, The Chase and Dirty Sterling

His debut single, Summerhouse, confirmed what many already suspected-that Pablo Carrizo is one of the UK’s most exciting emerging indie artists.

Since then, the momentum has only grown.

The announcement video for his Hull FC club anthem surpassed 200,000 views across social media, before he stepped onto the pitch at MKM Stadium to perform it ahead of the Hull Derby-live on Sky TV. It was a statement moment. A young independent artist commanding a stadium crowd of 21,000.

He has even performed live with Jon McClure of Reverend and the Makers-another clear marker that industry insiders are paying attention.

Now, Derby gets its turn.

Mr Shaws House-An Intimate Indie Explosion

There is something special about seeing a fast-rising artist in an intimate venue before they explode onto bigger stages. Mr Shaws House offers exactly that.

This is not a distant arena show. This is sweat-on-the-ceiling, crowd-singing-every-word, arms-round-your-mates indie chaos at its finest.

If Pablo’s trajectory continues as predicted, nights like this will become part of the “I was there” stories.

Support Line-Up: A Showcase of Emerging Talent

The Indie Night has stacked the bill with three exciting support acts, making this far more than just a headline set. This is a full showcase of emerging UK talent.

Romy-Nottingham’s One to Watch

At just 16 years old, Romy is already carving out serious attention. A BBC Introducing artist since the age of 12, she has been tipped as “one to watch” and continues to build a strong East Midlands following.

Her sound blends pop, pop-punk, folk and grungy pop rock, drawing comparisons to a young Avril Lavigne and Dolores O’Riordan. She has played BBC Introducing stages at Hockley Hustle and Lincoln Live and regularly releases heartfelt, emotionally driven music that connects instantly with audiences.

Expect raw honesty, strong hooks and serious potential.

Jude Forsey-Indie Pop Meets Electronica

Jude Forsey brings a slick blend of indie pop and electronica. Based in Nottingham, Jude has performed for BBC Introducing and has been consistently releasing music since 2020.

His sound offers contrast and texture to the bill-melodic, modern and rhythmically sharp. For fans of forward-thinking indie with electronic undertones, this is one to catch early.

Dylan Ward-Honest, Relatable Songwriting

Born and raised in Hull, Dylan Ward first picked up a guitar during lockdown and quickly transformed a hobby into something meaningful.

His honest and moving lyrics tell relatable stories of growing up, navigating life and chasing something bigger. From local pub open mics to supporting artists such as Sam Scherdel and The Cheap Thrills across Yorkshire, Dylan has steadily built his name in the Hull music scene.

With a loyal fanbase and a grounded, authentic presence, he rounds off a support line-up that feels carefully curated rather than thrown together.

Why This Derby Indie Gig Matters

Derby has quietly become a stronghold for independent live music. Promoters like The Indie Night are doing more than just booking shows-they are building community, giving rising artists a platform and ensuring the East Midlands remains firmly on the touring map.

Bringing Pablo Carrizo back to Derby at this stage of his rise shows real intent.

He is no longer just a promising newcomer. He is an artist who has:

• Sold out multiple headline shows
• Played 18,000-capacity festival stages
• Achieved national radio exposure
• Performed live on national television
• Delivered a stadium anthem

Yet on 21 March 2026, he will be in an intimate Derby venue, within touching distance of the crowd.

That is rare.
