What's On in Nottingham
Thursday 18 June 2026
Thursday in Nottingham is pulling in two very different directions tonight, and honestly, both feel essential. From the smoky, lysergic haze of a Nashville psych-rock band rolling into town to a sweaty indie singalong that has become a weekly ritual for the city's night owls, there is a thread running through it all — great music, great people, and that unmistakable feeling that the week is finally cracking open. Lace up, Nottingham.
Highlights
All Them Witches - House of Mirrors Tour — Nashville's finest purveyors of heavy, hypnotic rock bring their House of Mirrors tour to The Palais at 6:30pm, and if you have never experienced All Them Witches live, tonight is the night to put that right. Their music sits somewhere between Southern blues, psychedelia, and something altogether harder to pin down — sprawling, immersive, and genuinely powerful in a room full of people. Tickets are available via the website, so check prices and grab yours before the doors close on what promises to be a properly transportive Thursday evening.
MARDY BUM - Indie Goodness Every Thursday — Once the gig crowd spills out into the night, the city's indie faithful will be making their way to Billy Bootleggers for Mardy Bum, Nottingham's beloved weekly celebration of guitar music, floor-fillers, and the kind of songs you know every word to before the chorus has even kicked in. Doors are at 10:00pm, which means this is the perfect second act to an already musically loaded evening — think Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Pulp, and a dancefloor that never really wants to stop. Check the website for ticket details and prepare to lose your voice by midnight.
