Zombies? Fireworks? Bob Dylan? What's piquing your interest this week?
Tuvaband + Katie Keddie
When: Tuesday 25 October, 8pm
Where: The Chameleon Arts Cafe
How much: From £8
With her artistry earning comparisons to Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins and David Lynch, it’s safe to say producer Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser is very highly rated - with her dream-pop mystique creating an utterly enchanting ambience. Combine that with the boundless talents of Nottingham singer-songwriter Katie Keddie and you have a truly special night that is not to be missed.
Dystopian Future Movies
When: Thursday 27 October, 7pm
Where: The Bodega
How much: £9.90
Bored of the same old noise in mainstream music? Get a bit of Dystopian Future Movies in your life. This experimental group is made up of talented folk from Church of the Cosmic Skull, Amusement Parks on Fire and Mammothwing - creating a sound that is energetic, engrossing and impossible to pin down.
Halloween at Hickings
When: Friday 28 - Monday 31 October
Where: New Stapleford Community Centre
How much: From £13.45
Got this far into October and still haven’t felt spooky yet? Head over to Stapleford for a night of proper Halloween festivities that are sure to get you in the mood. Offering everything from a Walkthough Scare Maze to a Spiders Lair, fire dancers to food stalls, there’s loads to check out over in west Notts.
Bob Dylan
When: Friday 28 October, 8pm
Where: Motorpoint Arena
How much: From £75.95
You might have heard of this guy already… Bob Dylan doesn’t really need an introduction, but the legendary singer, songwriter and musical influence is taking over Motorpoint Arena for one night only this Friday. To experience Dylan’s iconic back catalogue first-hand, grab your tickets now. Be warned, though, it’s a ‘phone free show’ - so if going to gigs to experience it with your own eyes, rather than through your phone screen, isn’t for you, this event probably isn’t for you.
Nottingham Fireworks 2022
When: Saturday 29 October, 5pm
Where: Nottingham Racecourse
How much: From £5
Gutted that the Council’s fireworks display isn’t going ahead? Fear not! The award-winning Komodo Events has got you covered, bringing a brilliant pyromusical firework show to Nottingham Racecourse this Saturday. That’s not all, though - there will also be a funfair and food stalls for you to enjoy.
The Nottingham Horror Collective Halloween Party
When: Saturday 29 October, 6pm
Where: Liquid Light Brewery
How much: Free
There’s nobody more qualified to throw a killer Halloween party than the Nottingham Horror Collective - our local horror zine makers and general horror experts. Happening this Saturday at Liquid Light, join the creators (and more) in celebrating the scariest holiday with a beer in one hand and a burger from Mocky D in the other. Prizes for best costumes will be awarded, and issue VI ‘The Devil’ will be on sale.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
