What s On
Akedo Bar in Lincoln has had a major facelift during lockdown, and will now offer live music as well as a host of classic and modern video games.
The independent gaming bar on Corporation Street in Lincoln will open on Tuesday, May 19 at 4pm, and there are plenty of changes to be aware of.
A refurb has allowed for the venue to host live music, with DJs and bands booked from June to September, including the Sleaford Mods’ Simon Parfrement.

Imps take huge step towards Wembley with 2-0 victory against Sunderland
A home victory for Lincoln City
Lincoln City have one foot in the League One play-off final after a 2-0 victory over Sunderland in their semi-final first leg.
Over 3,000 Lincoln City fans roared in support of their team for the full 90 minutes as they bossed proceedings at the LNER Stadium.
Both teams hit the woodwork either side of half time before Tom Hopper gave Lincoln the lead after 51 minutes.
The Imps doubled their lead through Nottingham Forest loanee Brennan Johnson, who once again dazzled in midfield.
Michael Appleton’s side held out for a crucial clean sheet and the focus now turns to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on Saturday for the second leg.
