Summer of Sport at Firebug

We’ll be showing some of the incredible sporting events taking place over the summer in various bits of Firebug (upstairs or downstairs). Entry is always free, and we hope you’ll join us for some or all of it if it’s your kind of thing.

If it’s not IT WILL NOT EFFECT THE NORMAL FIREBUG ATMOSPHERE. If your way of enjoying sport is to throw plastic garden furniture around, please find somewhere else to watch. There will be security on for key events to keep Firebug the way you’ve always loved it.

More details will be added to this event as and when we know them.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 8th June – 1st July

WIMBLEDON – 25th June – 8th July

BRITISH GRANDPRIX – 8th July

LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS – 27th July – 10th August

Where we show the events (either on the TV, Big Screen downstairs or big screen upstairs) will depend on the event – check our website for details.

PLUG at the BUG returns in May

After the incredible success of PLUG at the BUG on New Years Eve, it returns in May for a special one-off.

With doors at 9pm, BUENOS AIRES will perform, celebrating the release of their new single ‘Record Breaker’ live along with very special guests to be announced.

PLUGs DJs (the guys that bought you countless awesome club nights in Leicester’s murky past) take over immediately after, playing awesome music across all genres (but mostly only if it makes us simultaneously laugh and dance).

Entrance is COMPLETELY FREE all night, and Firebug is open as usual downstairs.
