The Century Theatre in Coalville is hosting Purple Zeppelin on Friday night.

Purple Zeppelin are bringing audiences a brand new show for 2024. Featured in the BBC TV documentary 'The Joy of the Guitar Riff' (alongside Brian May, Tony Iommi & Dave Grohl) Purple Zeppelin are proud to pay tribute to the two greatest Rock Bands of all time, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin!!!

Many years have passed since the last UK gigs from the classic line-ups of both bands. Whether you were lucky enough to have seen the originals live or not, Purple Zeppelin will take you back to the magic, the excitement and the sheer raw energy generated by those incredible musicians.

In a 'full on' two and a half hour show complete with costume changes for each band, you'll hear their most famous songs – basically the best bits, all of the time.

Touring for over 15 years and seen by more than six million people, live and on TV, Purple Zeppelin are four talented and versatile musicians. With decades of playing between them and thousands of gigs in the UK and overseas, every show is an unforgettable experience.

However, this is much more than just a great band performing all the 'Greatest Hits' – it's a theatrical insight into these two giants of rock, complete with special effects, onstage 'artistic differences' and audience participation.

The Palace Community Centre in Ibstock has another Classic Film Night on Friday - with Some Like it Hot.

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy, Jerry (Jack Lemmon), improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives.

Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's singer, Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.

Still at The Palace, the Gresley Male Voice Choir are performing on Saturday night.

The choir will be returning to The Palace for another great evening of musical entertainment.

This venue has become a firm favourite with all the choristers, as they say the audience is always very warm and appreciative.

Back at the Century Theatre, Sunday will see the Ashby Road venue hosting a Variety Show: In aid of Rainbows Hospice.
