What's On in Leicester
Sunday 13 September 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Leicester is turning up the volume this Sunday, with two heavyweight live music acts landing in the city to make the most of your evening. Whether you're a hip-hop devotee or a Scouse indie anthems obsessive, the stages are set and the energy is real — this is one of those nights where you'll be glad you didn't stay home.
Highlights
Talib Kweli LIVE concert in Leicester — One of the most respected voices in conscious hip-hop steps into the intimate surrounds of 2Funky Music Cafe for a night that feels genuinely rare. Talib Kweli has been crafting sharp, soulful, politically charged rhymes for over two decades, and seeing him up close in a room this size is the kind of gig you'll be talking about for years. Doors open at 6:30pm and tickets are £25 — an absolute steal for an artist of this stature.
Jamie Webster — The Liverpool singer-songwriter who became the soundtrack to a generation of football fans and beyond brings his anthemic, crowd-roaring style to the O2 Academy2 Leicester at 7:00pm. Webster has a rare gift for making a room feel like one voice, and his shows have a communal warmth that turns strangers into friends before the first chorus is done. Check the website for ticket availability and pricing — but move quickly, because this one has all the makings of a sell-out Sunday.
