Support grassroots music in Billericay

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Billericay still has 6 of them.

For Billericay the nearest stages are in Brentwood: the Brentwood Centre for touring shows, Brentwood Theatre for sing-along nights, and the Essex Arms and The Robin for open mics.

In the year to July 2025, 78 UK grassroots venues stopped putting on live music and 30 closed outright, while pubs shut at about two a day in early 2026. Each one was somewhere a band played its first paid gig or a songwriter tried a new song on a room of strangers.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 2 gigs in Billericay over the next four weeks, plus the 6 grassroots venues and 4 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed.

So go. Pick a night you would not normally choose, buy a ticket and a drink, and bring a friend. The sign-up below sends Billericay listings to your inbox each week, and if you run a room here, claim your venue page to keep it accurate. If you have never been to an open mic, The Essex Arms runs one every Monday.

1 gig in Billericay this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) - including A Slice of Chili Peppers & Things of Leon Tribute night! at The SX Bar, Essex Arms Brentwood (Saturday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.
Counting every upcoming date, there are 3 gigs listed in and around Billericay - sixth of 6 against its nearest places with live music, behind the London area (1,416).
We currently list 2 gigs in Billericay between 13 Nov and 11 Dec, across 1 venue. The listings above are the full set, sorted by date and refreshed daily from the venues themselves — no algorithm decides what you see. For everything beyond this window, browse every upcoming gig in Billericay in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Billericay gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Billericay open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
There is no clear busiest night in Billericay at the moment — the 2 listed gigs are spread thinly across the 28-day window. Listings update daily.
Right now: The SX Bar, Essex Arms Brentwood. In total we track 6 grassroots venues in Billericay, of which 1 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Billericay venue directory.
Billericay has 4 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Billericay open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Most Billericay venues in our listings do not publish a ticket price in advance. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Billericay still has 6 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Billericay gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.
