Live Grass-Roots Gigs Across the UK

Any non-major-label, non-festival show — usually at a UK indie venue, pub, basement bar or community stage. Early-career bands, local promoter nights, intimate sets that the big aggregators tend to miss. Both ticketed and free shows.

Open mics are recurring weekly nights where any performer can sign up. The gig directory lists one-off shows — specific bands playing specific venues on specific dates. Use the open mic finder for weekly slots, this directory for upcoming gigs to watch or play.

Promoters, venues and artists can submit gigs free via the submission form. Submissions are reviewed and verified within 48 hours before going live.

Mostly from events published on GigXchange by venues, promoters and artists. We also accept public submissions via the form. Each listing carries a verification badge — verified means we've confirmed it independently; unverified means we sourced it from a publicly published event but haven't double-checked.

Continuously. New gigs go live as soon as a promoter publishes them, and past-dated gigs are removed nightly. The visible count above is live data — refresh the page to see the latest.
