Home · Events in Aberdeen This Week

You can find a varied range of events in Aberdeen this week, offering plenty to keep you entertained. Whether you're looking for things to do in Aberdeen this week, a night out, or a cultural experience, the city has several options. This week presents a mix of live music, from intimate club sets in venues around the city to larger performances. Check what's on at the Music Hall, a historic venue which regularly hosts diverse acts. For something different, there are opportunities to engage with the city's cultural side, perhaps a look behind the scenes at collections at Aberdeen Art Gallery.

If you're keen to socialise, you'll find options tailored to meeting new people in pubs around Union Street, alongside opportunities to enjoy established comedy performers. Energetic nights tailored to specific musical tastes can be found, especially considering Aberdeen’s moderate nightlife intensity. Consider evenings at one of the bars near Victoria Dock or exploring options close to Pittodrie Stadium. Expect a lively atmosphere, and there's a good mix to suit different preferences, from traditional folk music to contemporary DJ sets. Remember to factor in local bus services, First Bus and Stagecoach, when planning your evening. We've curated a selection to help you make the most of the week ahead.
