With 140 events in the listings this week, surely we can finally dispel the myth that there’s nothing to do in Southampton. Our local venues and artists have pulled out all the stops this Halloween, please go out, have fun and support them. Big name draws include The Proclaimers (who have walked 440 miles to get here), Sugababes and Yungblud. The Sweetchunks Band host their Halloween spectacular, and highly recommended Hannah Moule & The Moulettes return with a string ensemble to Unity Brewery. Henge are sharing their alien propaganda, Imperial Leisure bring their Specials-influenced sound to Heartbreakers, and there’s even jazz punk from Denmark and stoner rock from Austria. For you late night cats there’s a wide assortment of raves from the likes of On A Mission, Apocalypse, High Tide, SO3 Collective and South Signal – the latest of which continues until 7am on Sunday. There’s also ghost tours, a spooky board game lock in, story telling, and Latino and Greek club nights. Wow – what a week – enjoy!
