Last updated: 2nd Jul 2021

The countdown to 'Freedom Day' - attempt number two - is now well underway, with just over a fortnight left to go before clubs, music venues and theatres throw open their doors once more, welcoming us all for some good old fashioned non socially distanced partying!

Oh yes, it won't be long until we're all together on the dancefloor, hands in the air, raving hard, having it large. Epic scenes similar to the ones in the video below, captured in a time before COVID (sounds strange to say), are now just over the horizon.

And what's more, some further positive news from the suits in the House's of Parliament, it looks as those us revellers will be able to gain entry to gigs and so forth, without the need to produce evidence of a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination. 

So, it kind of goes without saying, now is the time to start planning for the big release. It's time to assemble the partygoing collective, the squad, the clan. It's time to get those tickets for those rescheduled events you've been waiting to come around. It's time to get excited. We most certainly are.

Take a browse at some of the many events that have been added to Skiddle this week below, and secure yourself tickets to an event that you're likely never to forget.

When: Tuesday 7th December 2021

Where: Corn Exchange Edinburgh in Edinburgh

Dynamic dance duo Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar AKA Bicep will bring their euphoric live show to Edinburgh for a very special one-off date this December.

Subsequent follow-up, Isles, released in January this year, also caught the attention of critics and dance fans worldwide, and showcases more of the production skill and talent for which they are now globally renowned.

Mykki Blanco live in Liverpool

When: Saturday 6th November 2021

Where: 24 Kitchen Street in Liverpool 

Illustrious American rapper, poet and activist, Mykki Blanco will arrive at Liverpool's 24 Kitchen Street this November as part of a run of shows throughout the UK. 

A pioneer of the queer rap sub-genre, taking early influence from the alter ego of rap star Lil Kim, Kimmy Blanco, Mykki has been pivotal in subverting what has long been a genre renowned for its outdated views and opinions on homophobia and transphobia, opening doors for talents that years earlier may never have been discovered.

Bringing together elements of trap, hip hop, rap, lo-fi pop and in some cases shoegaze, Blanco's work makes for a very interesting listen. 

See for yourself what all the fuss is about in Liverpool this November.
