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. Each carries a verification badge — verified means we've confirmed it independently; unverified means we sourced it from a publicly published event.
