What do Kasabian, Scouting for Girls, Public Service Broadcasting and Billy Brag all have in common? They’re all playing this week in Southampton! And that’s not even the half of it. There are multiple comedy nights, drag superstars, big-name club DJs, rock nights, huge events in Guildhall Square such as Oktoberfest, and Halloween specials galore.
Special shout outs this week go to DJ Hammy, who is returning after 18 months playing online, at the brand new Mercantile Flea in the huge old Sainsburys in Bitterne on Wednesday night, and to local metalcore band Our Hollow Our Home who are organising not one but two days of live bands in the 1865 this weekend (under the guise ‘Holloween’).
