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.

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.
