What’s on

Now in its fifth year, the Looe Weekender is a three-day music event organised by the pubs, clubs, cafés, restaurants, hotels and bars of Looe.

Across multiple venues and pop-up stages throughout the town, you can expect an eclectic line-up of bands, choirs, duos and soloists, with most venues hosting at least three performances each day. In total, more than 90 sets will take place across the weekend, with some venues also hosting bonus gigs on Thursday 17 September.

Start times vary from venue to venue, so it’s worth checking the Looe Weekender website for the full venue-by-venue line-up and latest updates.
