Bongo’s Bingo 90s Special. One of the best ways to kick off the weekend in Leeds, award-winning bingo phenomenon Bongo’s Bingo will return to the O2 Academy for a 90s special installment. This isn’t your average game of bingo though, oh no, because there’ll also be rave intervals, dance-offs, sing-a-longs and big prizes – we’re talking Henry Hoovers, cardboard cutouts and karaoke machines.

Spice Girls Drag Bottomless Brunch. If you really really really want a Spice Girls drag brunch, head to HOME for a 90s throwback like no other. Alongside tasty food and bottomless drinks, there’ll be sizzling Spice Girls drag trio performances, plus singalongs mixed by their resident DJ. The only question is which Spice Girl will you dress up as?

Tainted Love 80s Party. More of an 80s fan? Well, you’re in luck, because this weekend in Leeds is also when you can dance the night away at the Tainted Love 80s Party at Project House. The nostalgia-drenched atmosphere includes huge projections and 80s themed cocktails, while DJ Dan Lomax spins the hits from the likes of Bowie, Blondie and more.
