What’s On In Scotland: Five things to do tonight

OUR daily briefing gives you the run-down on the most exciting cultural events going on in Scotland this evening, including Dundee indie rockers, Irvine Welsh and Mean Girls.

Irivine Welsh promises the return of 'Franco' at tonight's Neu! Reekie Christmas event.

FILM: WATCH & WOLF: MEAN GIRLS

The Filmhouse teams up with Watch & Wolf for a truly sensory screening of cult classic Mean Girls. The premise behind W&W’s experiential screenings is that the audience eats and drinks along with the drama. Patrons are given a box of numbered foodie samples (and cocktails too) in which they can consume when given the signal at key points in the movie. A cinematic experience like no other.

Indie rockers The View return to where it all began this evening with a show at Dundee’s Caird Hall. Following the release of their latest album The Ropewalk (produced by The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond. Jr) back in September, the band will be bringing a mixture of new sounds and old favourites along with them.
