ESB Sunday Circus

Nothing signals summer quicker then the start of the ESB Sunday Circus. Taking place every Sunday afternoon in the open air at Meeting House Square, kids are actively encouraged to take part - there are even circus workshops to 'learn the craft'. A different performance group takes over each week, including Puca Puppets (who made a magical appearance at the St Patrick's Day festival), the Armagh Rhymers and the intriguingly named Cinemarionettes. All events are free but tickets, available from Temple Bar Properties, are required from some. The programme will run until the last Sunday in August.

Two Days A Week

Two days of raucous air-punching guitar rock at the leafy Wiesen arena featuring appearances from numerous American bands. Friday's bill is topped by Ween and the Deftones while Saturday sees a considerable German contingent - including Schneiderberg and H-Blockx - but most fans will be saving their energy for perennial festival favourites Chumbabawumba and their crowd-pleasing anarcho-pop. The night will come to a tumultuous close as Californian nutters Limp Bizkit take the stage.

Piano Festival 2000

In a city with more visiting classical musicians than you might think, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra presents six concerts featuring pianist Andre Watts. Highlights include the concert on June 30, with Mozart's 'Rondo In D' and 'Rondo In A Minor'; Schubert's Piano Trio No 1 in B-flat with violinist Ellen de Pasquale and cellist Ronald Thomas, and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 3 In C Minor.
