What's a grass-roots gig?

A UK gig at an independent venue — typically capped under 600 capacity — by an artist who isn't on a major-label arena tour. In: pubs, basement bars, indie clubs, community halls, arts centres, and small folk / jazz / punk festivals. Out: arenas, stadiums, the O2 chain, Royal Albert Hall, Symphony Hall, the Barbican, premium dining-cabaret rooms (Jazz Cafe, KOKO, Boisdale), and mega-festival sites (Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury, BST Hyde Park). Major-artist 'World Tour' / 'Arena Tour' / 'Greatest Hits' shows are also excluded — this directory is for the early-career bands, local promoter nights and Tuesday-evening residencies the bigger aggregators tend to miss.

How was this listing sourced?

Listings are compiled from public APIs (Ticketmaster, Skiddle) and direct submissions by promoters, venues and artists. Each carries a verification badge — verified means we've confirmed it independently; unverified means we sourced it from a publicly published event. For UK grassroots-venue context see the Music Venue Trust, PRS for Music and Help Musicians UK.

Can I add my own gig to the directory?

Yes — promoters, venues and artists can submit a gig free, reviewed within 48 hours. You'll also find related GigXchange surfaces: the UK open mic directory, the city hub index, the genre directory, the booking guides, and the GX Index for live UK gig rates.
