Events in Aberdeen From 29th June – 5th July 2026

You’ll find events in Aberdeen to suit a range of tastes, and what's on this week offers a diverse mix of entertainment. This week sees a good spread of things to do, from evenings dedicated to live music and DJ sets, catering to Aberdeen’s lively nightlife scene. Many pubs and bars around Union Street and the West End host regular music nights, with options available to suit most preferences. Those seeking a more contemplative experience can enjoy performances in the city’s arts venues, such as the arts programming frequently held at Aberdeen Arts Centre, or performances at His Majesty’s Theatre.

There are also opportunities to expand your skillset with dedicated training seminars, often held at locations like Aberdeen University’s campus. For families, traditional Highland Games offer a day out with local custom, and the city’s many playparks – such as those found in Duthie Park – provide outdoor enjoyment. Sport fans will find something to enjoy with live screenings of major events at pubs, and perhaps a fixture at Pittodrie Stadium. Beyond that, expect evenings dedicated to specific music genres – from goth and post-punk acts appearing at smaller venues, to tribute nights – and comedy nights to brighten your week. Consider transport options, though, as parking near the city centre and around Union Street can be limited, especially during peak hours. Aberdeen also benefits from frequent local bus services from First Bus and Stagecoach.
