2 Jesse Bloch

Warehouse, Burnbank Road, Falkirk, Saturday, July 28 (11pm)

The sonic celebrity from Sydney, Australia, has elevated himself from bootleg master and occasional viral sensation to DJ superstar in a remarkably short period thanks to a performance style which shifts effortlessly between electro, bounce, psytrance, house and trap – his bootlegs of nostalgic classics and mainstream hits can even entice old fogies in the early 30s onto the dancefloor. As Jesse himself stated about the Warehouse gig: “I’m heading back to Europe to play some shows in some of my favourite places, so pumped to see you guys.” So don’t disappoint this top disc manipulater and get yourself down to the busiest night spot in Burnbank Road.

3 Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

Hippodrome, Hope Street, Bo’ness, Friday, July 27, Saturday, July 28, Sunday, July 29 and Monday, July 30 (various times)

There were chills throughtout the musical community when they heard there was going to be a sequel to Mamma Mia. Not that the film was not entertaining – it was a happy smash hit with Meryl Streep, Julie Walters and the other girlfriend nobody knows the name of belting out Benny and Bjorn ditties and dancing around a Greek island. No, the real fear came from the possibility former 007 Pierce Brosnan will be allowed to sing again. James Bond may have a licence to kill, but old Pierce sure murdered SOS good and proper.

5 Incredibles 2

Hippodrome, Hope Street, Falkirk Thursday, July 26 (2.30pm and 6.30pm)

Superheroes were really in need of rescue when The Incredibles first hit our screens way back in 2004, but after the success of that flick and the seemingly unstoppable Marvel/Disney juggernaut, every second film that comes to the cinema now features somebody with a great power and an even greater responsibility. In this new release we find the whole incredible Parr family back in action – big muscle guy, stretchy wife, speedy son, invisible daughter and weird laser eye shooting infant – to foil yet another evil plot by yet another supervillain. It’s a Pixar film so it Disney get better than this.

7 Larbert Cup: Play Station 4 Football Tournament

Larbert Library, Hallam Road, Larbert, Wednesday, August 1 (2pm)
