What's On in Leicester
Wednesday 29 July 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Wednesday in Leicester has a quietly electric feel to it, the kind of midweek evening where the city shakes off the ordinary and offers something genuinely memorable. If you know where to look, there is world-class musicianship waiting for you tonight — and tonight, you really do not have to look far.
Highlights
Shez Raja ft Guthrie Govan — Two of the most strikingly original voices in contemporary guitar music share the same stage at the intimate and beloved 2Funky Music Cafe, and at £20 this is the kind of ticket that serious music lovers will be kicking themselves for missing. Guthrie Govan has earned a near-mythical reputation among musicians worldwide for his fluid, genre-defying technique, while Shez Raja brings a soulful, boundary-crossing vision that fuses jazz, South Asian influences, and beyond. Doors and atmosphere from 7:00pm — get there early, find a good spot, and let these two take you somewhere unexpected.
