It's all going on. From Disney to stand-up comedy and death metal, it's another fun-packed Fat Friday at Allgigs. Weep at the plight of little Simba, laugh at the giant Stephen Merchant and rock yourself senseless to the musical stylings of Brand New and the death metal of The Black Dahlia Murder.

Elsewhere we've some additional shows from everyone's favourite porker, Peppa Pig, the timeless pop of Ian Broudie's Lightning Seeds and the chart-topping sounds of Example. If that doesn't sate you, there's always room for a little Blancmange.

Tickets on-sale Friday at 9am unless otherwise stated. For ticket availability, click on the "Buy Tickets" buttons below, on or after the on-sale date and time. Prices quoted are not inclusive of booking fees.
