Rising star Max Tyler to DJ at Moorways Sports Village

Max Tyler – one of the UK music industry’s most exciting young talents – is set to DJ poolside at Moorways Sports Village on Saturday, November 12.

The 19-year-old DJ and producer will play a two-hour set at Moorways, managed by award-winning operator Everyone Active in partnership with Derby City Council.

The Atlantis giant inflatable will be out in the main pool and children and adults will be able to enjoy the water park facilities at the same time, which include two large flumes, a wave rider, a water play area, racer slides and a wave-generating WaveBall.

The event is due to take place from 6.30pm-8.30pm and is for those aged eight and over. Tickets are £12.50 each and bookings can be made here.

Tyler, who will be positioned on the spectator balcony over the main pool, rose to prominence during the 2020 lockdowns with his live Instagram DJ sets on Friday nights.

His first track, ‘You Only Want Me’, was released in July 2020 and reached number two in the iTunes Charts and number three in the Dance Charts.

Tyler has been in residency at The View from The Shard in London since 2021 and two of his tracks reached the top 10 of the Dance Charts this year.

Simon Morgan, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said: “We are really looking forward to welcoming Max Tyler to Moorways for this fun family event.

“It will be great to see people of all ages from across the community enjoying the fantastic aquatic facilities we have here, with the DJ set sure to raise excitement levels.”

Councillor Jerry Pearce, Derby City Council’s Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Public Spaces and Leisure, said: “We’ve never seen an event like this in Derby before. It’s a fantastic way for families to make the most of the fantastic swimming and leisure water facilities we have at Moorways Sports Village.”
