Support grassroots music in Hull

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Hull still has 32 of them.

East Yorkshire scene with City-of-Culture momentum, the Adelphi Club, and a deeply distinctive indie identity. Venue or private-event hire? See Find a Band in Kingston upon Hull for rate ranges, the Adelphi Club-circuit indie specialists, and the East Yorkshire wedding corridor (Tickton Grange, Wood Hall, Cave Castle). Kingston upon Hull's working calendar runs about 6 live nights weekly across the Old Town and Princes Avenue, with around 25 active venues programming live music monthly. The 60-mile Leeds gap keeps East Yorkshire fees roughly 14% below West Yorkshire averages, with limited Leeds-band travel into Hull. Planning a private party instead? See booking live entertainment in Kingston upon Hull for bands, singers and DJs for one-off occasions. Booking for the company rather than yourself? See corporate entertainment in Kingston upon Hull for Christmas parties, awards nights and conferences.

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 shut for good. Those are the rooms where new acts learn to hold an audience, where a first support slot happens, and where a Tuesday night can still turn into something.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 29 gigs in Hull over the next four weeks, plus the 32 grassroots venues and 18 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed. The busiest rooms right now are ORILEYS LIVE MUSIC VENUE, Connexin Live and Dirty Dicks, and the sound leans rock and alternative rock.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up below sends Hull listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. Start small: Cherry's Bar hosts an open mic each Sunday.

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 74 gigs listed in and around Hull - second of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Leeds area (278).
We currently list 29 gigs in Hull between 4 Nov and 2 Dec, across 10 venues. 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 Hull in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Hull gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Hull open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
Saturday, with 13 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Saturday: 13 gigs · Friday: 9 gigs · Wednesday: 2 gigs. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
Right now: ORILEYS LIVE MUSIC VENUE, Connexin Live, Dirty Dicks. In total we track 32 grassroots venues in Hull, of which 10 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Hull venue directory.
Hull has 18 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 Hull open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Hull venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £17.25. 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. Hull still has 32 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves navigate PRS licensing and 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 Hull 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.
