The Century Theatre in Coalville presents Club 80s on Saturday.

The Live show will take you on a rollercoaster ride back through one of the greatest eras of music.

Enjoy all the hits including Cyndi Lauper, Culture Club, Guns & Roses, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Erasure, Bon Jovi, Wham, Deacon Blue! and many, many more. This will be a night to remember – a non-stop, musical trip, back-combed, to the time that fashion forgot.

A band tighter than a Spandex leotard, and dancers shining brighter than all the neon in Vegas, will support a cast that stands head and shoulder pads above the rest! Costume changes in this incredible show will come just as thick and fast as the hits.

So, give the Rubik's Cube a night off and get ready to be taken back to an era of music that people will never forget. Whether you were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar or just a city boy, let Club 80s take your hand back to the happiest days of your life.

The Palace in Ibstock presents Pink Floyd Tribute The Dark Side of the Wall on Saturday.

The ever-popular award winning band return once again to present an evening of classic Pink Floyd music.

The band's long-serving, and Leicester-based, bass player Steve Chilton, says: "I always think that one of our great selling points is the fact that we love what we do. Live gigs should always be about that band and audience interaction. Pink Floyd's music and persona is often perceived as quite serious but whilst we perform their music with the love and respect it deserves, we always bring our own personalities to the stage."

In well over two hours of reverent tribute to their heroes, DSOTW perform music from all Pink Floyd's classic albums and feature tracks such as Comfortably Numb, Money, Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Another Brick In The Wall to name just a few.

More Details are HERE.
