Planning your London night

Grass-roots gigs in London are intimate by design: most rooms cap below 200, the band is on stage close to the floor, and the support acts often deserve as much attention as the headliner. Arrive within thirty minutes of doors to catch the openers and pick a sightline you're happy with.

Entry hasn't been published — bring £5–£15 cash to be safe, or check the venue's social channels for advance ticketing.

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.
Listings are compiled from public APIs (Ticketmaster, Skiddle) and direct submissions by promoters, venues and artists.
