Home to Kasabian and the Leicester Symphony Orchestra, Leicester’s got all musical bases covered. With the O2 Academy and De Montfort Hall attracting top names, and venues like The Soundhouse and Firebug showcasing up-and-coming local talent, Leicester’s live music scene has never been more vibrant. Don’t miss the celebration of independent music at Handmade Festival or the family-friendly summer festival with live music stage, Riverside Festival.
If that doesn’t float your boat, look out for live music in the medieval Guildhall, reggae and soca at the Caribbean Carnival, and the soothing sounds of classical music at the Leicester International Music Festival.
And if it’s festival fun you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. From our famous Comedy Festival to the biggest Diwali party outside India, Leicester’s festival programme has got something for everyone.
