Your night out

Smaller live music rooms in Preston often put you close to the stage, and support acts can be worth arriving early for.

Travelling? The map shows exactly where The Ferret is, and the Preston live music hub has what else is on around the same night.

Booking or playing in Preston? The GX Index publishes what UK gigs actually pay, by city, band size and venue type, and the GX Index reports set out the methodology and the sample behind every figure. Both are free to read and free to cite.

Keep exploring: the UK gig directory for what's coming up, the venue directory for rooms that book live music, the open mic finder for recurring stage time, and what's on across the UK this week. The blog covers pricing, contracts and getting booked, and about GigXchange explains who runs it and why. Something not right on this page? Tell us — or start on the home page.
