07 — Support grassroots

Support grassroots music in Leeds

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Leeds still has 92 of them.

From the Northern Quarter of Headingley to the independent venues of Chapel Allerton, Leeds lives and breathes live music. Planning a private party instead? See booking live entertainment in Leeds for bands, singers and DJs for one-off occasions. Booking for the company rather than yourself? See corporate entertainment in Leeds 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.

This page exists to make them easy to find. It lists 91 gigs across Leeds over the next four weeks, pulled from the venues themselves and updated daily - alongside the 92 grassroots venues and 34 regular open mic nights we track in the city. No algorithm decides what you see: it is simply everything we know is on. The busiest rooms right now are Brudenell Social Club, Lending Room and Stylus, and the sound leans rock and alternative rock.

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 Leeds gigs, use the sign-up below; if you run a venue here, claim your listing so people can find it. The Northern Guitars Cafe Bar open mic on Mondays is an easy first night out.

Go to one this month

Leeds has 91 gigs in the next four weeks and 34 open mic nights running. Choose one, go, and tell someone who would like it - word of mouth still fills small rooms. If you only go out once, Fridays have the most choice.

What is the busiest night for live music in Leeds?

Friday, with 27 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Friday: 27 gigs · Saturday: 21 gigs · Sunday: 13 gigs. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.

Which Leeds venues have the most on?

How much does a gig cost in Leeds, and what should an artist be paid?

Most Leeds venues in our listings do not publish a ticket price in advance.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.

Why do grassroots venues in Leeds matter?

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. Leeds still has 92 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.

How do I get a Leeds gig or venue listed on GIGXCHANGE?

Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Leeds 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.
