What's On in Leicester
Friday 07 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Leicester is firing up its Friday with live music spilling out onto the streets and into its beloved venues — this is a city that knows how to shake off the working week in style. August is in full swing, and even a single great gig can be the spark that turns an ordinary evening into a memory. Get out there, because the weekend starts now.
Highlights
Music Vibes presents Weekender Live At The Black Dog — Kick your Friday off early and loud at The Black Dog Leicester, where Music Vibes is launching the weekend with a live music session from midday — yes, noon — for just eight pounds. There is something wonderfully rebellious about losing yourself in great live sound before the afternoon has even properly begun, and the Black Dog has exactly the kind of intimate, no-nonsense atmosphere that makes every performance feel personal. Get there early, grab a drink, and let the weekender spirit take over.
