What's On in Edinburgh
Wednesday 17 June 2026
Wednesday nights in Edinburgh have a habit of surprising you, and the 17th of June is no exception. From a subterranean rock pilgrimage to a pub basement rattling with laughter, the city is serving up two wildly different evenings that share exactly one thing in common: you will not want to go home early. Pick your adventure — or, if you're feeling ambitious, pick both.
Highlights
All Them Witches | La Belle Angèle — Nashville's finest purveyors of psychedelic heavy rock descend on the magnificent La Belle Angèle, a venue whose centuries-old vaulted interior feels purpose-built for music this dark and immersive. All Them Witches deal in long, hypnotic grooves that build like storm fronts — the kind of set where you arrive curious and leave slightly transformed. Doors open at 7:00pm, so get there early, find your spot, and let the walls do the rest. Check the website for ticket prices.
The Comedy Cellar Edinburgh Live Stand-Up Comedy — Tucked inside the beloved Canon's Gait Pub on the Royal Mile, The Comedy Cellar is one of Edinburgh's most reliably brilliant mid-week secrets — a proper, intimate stand-up night where the laughs feel earned and the talent is consistently sharp. For just £12, you get an evening of live comedy in a room where the low ceilings and close quarters mean there is absolutely nowhere to hide — for the comics or the audience, which is exactly what makes it so electric. Kicks off at 8:00pm; arrive with a drink in hand and a willingness to have your sides genuinely ached.
