New On Skiddle: T78 Scottish Tour, Elrow Liverpool, Slapfunk Day & Night & more

Monday morning rolls quickly back around. Seriously, where do those weekends go?

It might have gone unnoticed, given that our technological devices update themselves automatically these days, but the clocks went forward at 1 am on Sunday morning, meaning the days get longer with more sunlight for us to enjoy when we clock off from our 9 to 5's. Spring has most definitely sprung, dear friends.

With 1 hour deducted from your usual beauty sleep routine, we gather you're feeling pretty sluggish right now. The Skiddle office is certainly full of zombies this morning. So, to help put the pep back in your step and boost those lacking energy levels, we've collated a list of 10 epic events, recently announced on Skiddle, to give you something to look forward to and snap you out of your funk! 

This week's New On Skiddle roundup features full-tilt parties courtesy of some of the world's best event brands and live entertainers, including Elrow, Beenie Man, techno stallion T78 and Slapfunk. 

Shake off that lingering fatigue and start planning ahead for long days spent having it large underneath the spring and summer sun!
