Planning the night
- Start times below are the venue's own local time, not yours — worth checking if you're travelling in.
- Age policy, door times and ID requirements are set by the venue and aren't in our feed. The seller's event page carries them.
- Line-ups change. For multi-act bills, the running order is usually announced close to the date.
- What's on tonight in Nottingham and this weekend are the fastest ways in if you're deciding now.
