It’s fight night weekend! Well, at least down in Little Italy, where Beaver Boxing will be holding their club show.
If you’re in for something that involves fewer punches, head to Irene’s for Shannon Rose and the Thorns – not only will they be playing, they’ll be recording footage for their latest music video. Pull out that mega-watt smile and party your way to stardom! Raw Sugar has a few great events happening, too, with Erik Lind and the Orchard on Friday night, and James Farr and Gabriel Minnikin on Saturday night, followed by a bit of R ‘n’ B. Out at the Blacksheep, you’ll find Fevers and The Goodluck Assembly, which is pretty much guaranteed to be an awesome night of indie rock and electro music. Down at Pressed, Ashleys and Speedy Oritz will bring a little indie rock to the stage.
Punk rock lovers should head out tonight to hear “Crusty” Craig Lewis talk about punk rock, mental illness and recovery.
Down at Babylon on Saturday, the Queer Mafia officially launches with their Oh My Jam event – and they’re bringing in a few special guests including J-ill, Sammy Royale and D-Luxx Brown to keep the party going into the wee hours of the morning.
For those of you wanting a little vintage, there’s the Victoire dress sale starting tomorrow, and a 1920s style Jazz Cabaret happening down at St Brigid’s on Friday.
Theatre lovers, head out to support the Fringe Festival Friday night with Stiff Quickies – a night of short films and tall drinks, happening down at Arts Court.
It’s party games time with The Meeple’s Republic on Saturday night – this time, the event is taking place at the snazzy Shopify offices down in the Market.
Burlesque lovers have a chance to learn their own skills at a workshop this weekend, and can follow it up by seeing a few experts in action on Sunday down at Yuk Yuks. Or catch a Jim Henson themed burlesque show down at Zaphod’s Saturday night!
And finally, if you’re looking to catch a film this weekend, head to the Mayfair for The Final Inch, a documentary about the massive mission to eradicate polio from the world. It’s free, and educational!
Our calendar is bursting with other events happening this weekend – what else are you getting up to? Let us know below!
