What's On in Nottingham

The Telescopes - Live @ Billy's 7Upstairs Birthday Celebrations — Billy Bootleggers Bar is throwing a proper seventh birthday party for its beloved upstairs space, and they have booked The Telescopes to make sure nobody forgets it. The legendary shoegaze and noise-rock outfit bring walls of distortion and hypnotic drone to one of Nottingham's most characterful intimate venues, making this a rare chance to see a cult act in a room that feels built for exactly this kind of beautiful sonic assault. Doors from 7:00pm and tickets are just £15 — a total steal for an evening that will leave your ears ringing in the best possible way.

Sounds Of The 60s Live - Hosted by Tony Blackburn MBE — If you grew up with Radio 1 or simply love the songs that defined a generation, the Royal Concert Hall is the place to be at 7:30pm tonight. Tony Blackburn MBE — a broadcasting treasure and genuine 60s institution — hosts a live celebration of the decade that gave us Motown, the British Invasion, and some of the most joyful pop music ever committed to tape. The Concert Hall's grand setting adds a real sense of occasion, and this is the kind of night that works just as beautifully for a first date as it does for a group of friends who know every single word.

Detonate First Rave Back: K MOTIONZ — Detonate does not do things by halves, and their first rave back at Unit 13 is being headlined by K Motionz, the Bristol-based drum and bass producer whose sets are relentless, euphoric, and absolutely not for the faint-hearted. Kicking off at 10:00pm, this is the kind of night where the bass physically moves through you and Tuesday suddenly feels like the best night of the week. At just £10, it is an extraordinary amount of energy per pound, so get in early and brace yourself.
