Highlights
Freya Skye | O2 Academy Leeds — If you haven't yet fallen for Freya Skye's soaring, emotionally raw vocals, tonight at the O2 Academy is your moment. This is a proper live music event — the kind where the crowd goes quiet at exactly the right time and loud at all the right moments. Doors from 6:00pm, so get there early and soak up the atmosphere before this rising star takes the stage. Check website for tickets.
Mykki Blanco | HEADROW HOUSE — Mykki Blanco is one of the most thrillingly unpredictable artists working today — a rapper, performance artist, and cultural force who turns every show into something you genuinely cannot compare to anything else. Headrow House is a brilliant venue for it: intimate enough that you feel every word, lively enough that the energy never drops. Kicking off at 7:00pm, this is the kind of night you'll be telling people about for years. Check website for tickets.
Fishies Baywatch Party Ft Curtis Pritchard | O2 Academy Leeds — When the clock hits 11:30pm and the rest of the city is winding down, the O2 Academy transforms into a full-on Baywatch-themed party, and yes, Curtis Pritchard is along for the ride. This is unabashedly, gloriously fun — the sort of late-night event where sequins are encouraged, inhibitions are left at the door, and the dancefloor does not stop. Check website for tickets and prepare to stay out far later than you planned.
