I Love Weekend - Our guide to what's on in your city

The semester has started but there’s still loads to do before the heavy coursework sets in! Or perhaps you’re already needing a break from the early starts and late nights! Whatever the reason, there is lots to do across the UK this weekend.

What better festival/event for students over the weekend than Oktoberfest in Edinburgh? Eat, Drink and be German - Edinburgh will celebrate the age-old Bavarian celebration of beer and sausages in style. Find out more here, and don't worry, Edinburgh isn't the only city that will be officially celebrating it. Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee.

If you prefer your Japanese animation to your beer, then there is the 'Scotland Loves Animation' festival over the next week or so. If you are based in or near Glasgow or Edinburgh and are a fan of your Studio Ghiblis or your Production I.G's then this event will be right for you!

Weird Al Yankovic, the master of the musical parody and the artist who brought you 'White and Nerdy', Amish Paradise and Eat It, is bringing his world tour, world-class comedy to Glasgow for one night only. We have checked the website and there are still tickets available, and although he may never stop making musical parodies, it would give you HUGE bragging rights to say you've seen him in person. 

In Aberdeen you can get your mosh on at the Union Street Music Hall on Saturday to Bullet For My Valentine, or you can rock out to old school Scottish rockers, Gun at the Aberdeen Garage on Friday.

You can laugh your socks off at Just Laugh the Dundee Rep Centre tonight from 8pm. Or if you want to have yourself a nice little hoedown then head down to The Whitehall Theatre for the superstar voice of Irish Americana singer, Jimmy Buckley.

I Love Weekend - Our guide to what's on in your city

The semester has started but there’s still loads to do before the heavy coursework sets in! Or perhaps you’re already needing a break from the early starts and late nights! Whatever the reason, there is lots to do across the UK this weekend.

The Tunnels in Aberdeen plays host to Wheatus on October 2nd - so “come with me Friday, don’t say maybe”.

Meanwhile the Flaming Tease Burlesque and Cabaret show celebrates their fourth birthday at Fubar in Stirling on Saturday the 3rd. With tickets from £6, this is a night not to be missed!

For an alternative to a night out, visit the Edinburgh playhouse this Friday for a production of The Bodyguard, straight from London’s West End!

If you are more into music, more specifically rap and grime, then you might want to catch Westwood at Shanghai club. The Radio DJ left BBC Radio 1 in 2013 after nearly 20 years and has moved to Capital Xtra on Saturday nights but still puts on one heck of a show.

If it isn't sold out then you should definitely head down to the Oran Mor on Saturday 3rd October for Rae Morris. Her debut album came out earlier this year and has garnered much praise from critics and even scoring a 77 on Metacritic. She has promise to be the next Ellie Goulding with a hint of Florence and the Machine so she is definitely worth checking out.

In Dundee you can watch the Rugby World Club live in Liar at DUSA including the Scotland vs South Africa and England vs Australia matches, both on Saturday evening.

In Glasgow, the Barras welcome the Braw Wee Fair for all things art and design on Saturday from 10am ’til 5pm. Rae Morris is also playing at Oran Mor on Friday 2nd October, so go and see the singer who performed at Glastonbury and is only 19 years old!

Meanwhile, in Nottingham, The Doghouse hosts the Aces High Festival, showcasing independent and underground artists from across the UK. This small festival takes place both Saturday and Sunday so no need to make any other weekend plans. Purchase a £10 day ticket for either day or a full weekend pass for £15!
