This Saturday sees the birth of a huge new one day event taking over two stages at The O2 Academy with a 24 band line-up!<\/p>\n

The Cookie<\/a>, Firebug<\/a> and The O2 Academy<\/a> have got together to bring us a one day event showcasing a snapshot of Leicester’s thriving and exciting local music scene, aptly named, Together.<\/p>\n

The line-up spans multiple genres including rap, indie, art-pop, acoustic and punk and shows off Leicester’s more seasoned artists as well as new bands on the block who debuted in 2019.<\/p>\n

Both stages in Leicester’s O2 Academy will be used, the huge Academy 1 and the more intimate Academy 2 (The Scholar bar), so the atmosphere will be relaxed, friendly and you’ll most certainly end up chatting to all sorts of like-minded music lovers.<\/p>\n

There will also be a local makers fair hosted by Realms of Rummage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the whole day (14:00 – 23:00) are \u00a313.50 each available from Ticketmaster<\/a> or see Music in Leicester’s<\/a> Facebook page<\/a> for details of how to win a pair of tickets!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

See the event’s Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n
