Famous band Toploader will be celebrating 25 years of performing together with a headline show at Docks Academy in Grimsby this October.
The rock band from Eastbourne formed in 1997, and it was two years later they soared to prominence with their hit single cover of Boffalongo’s Dancing in the Moonlight. Toploader’s version of the 70s song has over 500 million streams on Spotify.
Toploader have sold more than two million albums and earned four Brit Award nominations in their time as a band, and are hitting the road this year to celebrate a landmark quarter-century anniversary as a band.

The three-piece band will be coming to North East Lincolnshire on October 22 to perform a headline show at Docks Academy, located on King Edward Street in Grimsby.
Tickets are on sale now from the Docks Academy website, costing £22.50 plus booking fee.
Docks Academy Director Will Douglas commented: “Toploader’s ear worms are cemented into my growing up. Not least ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’, which made them into the household name they are today and was one of the songs in the soundtrack of my youth.
“It’s fantastic for our venue to have bands of this calibre playing at Docks Academy. I cannot wait to be in the audience for this gig.”

Docks Academy Venue Manager, Katie-Lou Green, added, “We’re really excited to welcome this beloved band to the Church in October. They are consistently crowd-pleasing live and I have no doubt our gig goers will all leave Dancing in the Moonlight after watching them celebrate their silver anniversary.”

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
