COOL AS LEICESTER

As 2023 draws to a close it’s time to start making New Years Eve plans.

Whether you’re having a new year date night or gathering up all your friends, there is plenty happening in Leicester for you to choose from.

Here’s our pick of the bunch.

NYE Party at 33 Cank Street

The Rhythm & Booze special is back at 33 Cank Street. Enjoy live music sets from Blue Skies in December featuring Andrea Kenny & Helen Collins + friends. The bar will be open all day from 2pm – 10pm with free entry, but the main event is tickets only from 10pm. Book your table for the evening. Tickets are £25 and include a table all night, live music, bar snacks and a midnight Prosecco toast. Book online.

Ikonika at The Exchange Bar

Following successful 2021 & 2022 NYE parties, The Exchange Bar party is back this year with their biggest one yet. After more than ten years, four albums, dozens of EPs, and gigs all over the globe, Ikonika is one of the most respected names in the UK bass diaspora. Best known for her numerous releases on and affiliation with Hyperdub Records – as well as EPs on DBA, Night Slugs and more recently Club Djembe – she is an artist ever in motion, now light years away from the post-dubstep landscape where she first made her name.

She will be supported by resident Afterhours Collective and Arawa, Softheartcult making his after hours debut. Tickets are free but should be registered to guarantee admission. (P.S. There’s a free Prosecco at midnight too!). Register online.

Bongo’s Bingo at Athena

Bongo’s Bingo is a kind of magic this NYE. It’s time to break free from 2023 and celebrate the greatest rock band of all time – Queen. The final festive show of 2023 on New Year’s Eve will feature all of Queen’s biggest hits and loads of the all-time festive classics, too. And don’t forget the crazy prizes and dance-offs at the UK’s original and definitive bingo experience. Perfect for hands in the air sing-a-longs and some matinee madness to see out the year in the finest of Bongo’s Bingo styles.
