Home · Events in Aberdeen This Week
You can find a mix of cultural events, live music, and comedy across Aberdeen this week. If you're looking for things to do in the city, there’s a solid range, especially in music, comedy, and the arts. Several performances are taking place, from established acts at larger venues to local shows in pubs and bars. The Music Hall hosts headline acts, while smaller spots around Union Street offer live sets. Stand-up comedy is also well represented, with shows at venues across the city. Talks are happening too, including a conference on clean hydrogen energy, part of Aberdeen’s ongoing shift beyond oil and gas, held near Victoria Dock. This week, events are taking place at the Inn At The Park, The Tunnels, and The Priory, with some happening just outside the city. Aberdeen Harbour and Pittodrie Stadium are also active. Be aware of traffic, especially on match days and during peak ferry or oil-related activity periods. The local bus network, First Bus and Stagecoach, covers most areas, though parking near the centre can be tight. Check event listings for times and locations. Allow extra time if you're travelling from outside the city centre, particularly around high-traffic zones.
