<p>There's so much happening in this city of the tribes this Friday night and here we have just some of the exciting events on offer. From Daniel O'Donnell at Leisureland to the sold out Fat Boy Slim at the Galway Airport, August shows no signs of slowing down.&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Daniel O’Donnell at Leisureland</h4>
<p>He’s here for one night only on the shores of Salthill at 8pm. Daniel O’Donnell will sing his heart out on the Wild Atlantic Way at Leisureland. His remarkable career forges ahead unabated, not only as a singer but also as a TV presenter, just another facet to his ever-expanding list of entertainment achievements. The Donegal-based singer, who is one of the most prolific and successful recording artists in the UK charts, is the only artist in the world to score a hit in the UK album charts every year since 1988, an unprecedented and unbroken 36-year span, and in doing so, he has outshone everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna to U2 and the Rolling Stones.

<h4>Fatboy Slim at Galway Airport</h4>
<p>Galway welcomes the legendary Fatboy Slim this Friday at his sold out gig at the Galway Airport. His ‘Love Summer’ tour arrives on the heels of the 25th anniversary reissue of You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby. First released in 1998, the album became one of the defining records of the ‘90s, irrespective of genre. Swinging from hip-hop, to reggae and jangle pop, with this record Norman Cook broke stylistic ground and delivered a wildly original album, filled with imagination and huge hooks.</p>
