Way over a hundred events for you in this week’s Shop Local Southampton listings, in a week sandwiched between two bank holidays!

Vilnio continue their reputation of pulling in huge acts with Ellie Goulding at Engine Rooms, though this is unsurprisingly sold out. Black Sabbitch is a top tier Black Sabbath tribute, promoted by the likes of Dave Grohl and Ozzy himself. Other events for the week include Dead Kennedys, Circus Berlin, Lost Post, Daddy Witch, Shannon B, aAnd?, Ciel, cellist Jo Quail and so much more including comedy, dance nights, and the return of free park yoga.

There are also lots of events for the Coronation of course.

Don’t forget to vote on Thursday!
