Support grassroots music in Grimsby

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Grimsby still has 11 of them.

In Grimsby the touring bands play the Docks Academy and the Auditorium on Cromwell Road; local acts find their stage at Black Gull, The County Hotel and The Spider's Web folk club.

Grassroots rooms are disappearing: 78 stopped hosting live music in the year to July 2025, 30 of them for good, and pubs closed at around two a day in the first quarter of 2026. Lose them and you lose the first rung - the support slots and midweek nights every bigger act started on.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 1 gig in Grimsby over the next four weeks, plus the 11 grassroots venues and 8 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed.

The best support is a full room. Turn up to something new, stay for the support act, and buy from the bar. For a weekly round-up of Grimsby gigs, use the sign-up below; if you run a venue here, claim your listing so people can find it.

1 gig in Grimsby this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) - including The Mersey Beatles at Grimsby Auditorium (Friday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.
Counting every upcoming date, there are 3 gigs listed in and around Grimsby - seventh of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Sheffield area (173).
We currently list 1 gig in Grimsby between 13 Nov and 11 Dec, across 1 venue. The listings above are the full set, sorted by date and refreshed daily from the venues themselves — no algorithm decides what you see. For everything beyond this window, browse every upcoming gig in Grimsby in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Grimsby gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Grimsby open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
There is no clear busiest night in Grimsby at the moment — the 1 listed gig is spread thinly across the 28-day window. Listings update daily.
Right now: Grimsby Auditorium. In total we track 11 grassroots venues in Grimsby, of which 1 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Grimsby venue directory.
Grimsby has 8 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Grimsby open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Most Grimsby venues in our listings do not publish a ticket price in advance. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Grimsby still has 11 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Grimsby gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.

Support grassroots music in Grimsby

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Grimsby still has 11 of them.

In Grimsby the touring bands play the Docks Academy and the Auditorium on Cromwell Road; local acts find their stage at Black Gull, The County Hotel and The Spider's Web folk club.

Grassroots rooms are disappearing: 78 stopped hosting live music in the year to July 2025, 30 of them for good, and pubs closed at around two a day in the first quarter of 2026. Lose them and you lose the first rung - the support slots and midweek nights every bigger act started on.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 1 gig in Grimsby over the next four weeks, plus the 11 grassroots venues and 8 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed.
