06 — Support grassroots

Support grassroots music in Lincoln

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Lincoln still has 22 of them.

In Lincoln the gigs run from The Drill on Free School Lane and The Tower in the city centre to The Engine Shed by the university, with open mics at The Birdcage, The Joiners Arms and the Victoria Inn.

In the year to July 2025, 78 UK grassroots venues stopped putting on live music and 30 closed outright, while pubs shut at about two a day in early 2026. Each one was somewhere a band played its first paid gig or a songwriter tried a new song on a room of strangers.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 7 gigs in Lincoln over the next four weeks, plus the 22 grassroots venues and 14 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 Engine Shed, DOT Live Low St Dunham On Trent NG22 0FJ and DOT Live, and the sound leans pop and rock.

So go. Pick a night you would not normally choose, buy a ticket and a drink, and bring a friend. The sign-up below sends Lincoln listings to your inbox each week, and if you run a room here, claim your venue page to keep it accurate. The Magna Carta open mic on Sundays is an easy first night out.

Go to one this month

Between now and 11 Dec there are 7 gigs in Lincoln, and 22 grassroots venues and 14 regular open mic nights. One night out this month keeps a room's diary full. If you only go out once, Saturdays have the most choice.

What you get. A Monday-noon email for Lincoln only: the week's gigs, drawn from the 7 listed on this page for the next four weeks, two a night at most. When fewer than four Lincoln gigs fall in the week, the email reaches on to the next fortnight, then the month, so you still have something to choose from.

Why sign up. Small rooms post their dates in a dozen different places; the email is the one place Lincoln's gigs are all together. Expect plenty of pop in Lincoln, with rock close behind. One click unsubscribes, any time.

Planning ahead? Gigs in Lincoln come and go each week; festivals are planned months ahead. One festival timeline holds the UK music festivals we have date-checked, by month, region and genre, and flags clashing weekends.

07 — Questions10 answersWhat's on in Lincoln

What's on in Lincoln this weekend?

1 gig in Lincoln this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) - including Nick Heyward at Lincoln Cathedral (Saturday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.

How does live music in Lincoln compare to nearby cities?

Counting every upcoming date, there are 30 gigs listed in and around Lincoln - fifth of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Nottingham area (210).

What live music is on in Lincoln over the next four weeks?

We currently list 7 gigs in Lincoln between 13 Nov and 11 Dec, across 3 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 Lincoln in the gig directory or every city we cover.

Are there free gigs in Lincoln?

None of the Lincoln gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Lincoln open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.

What is the busiest night for live music in Lincoln?

Saturday, with 2 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Saturday: 2 gigs · Monday: 2 gigs · Sunday: 1 gig. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.

Which Lincoln venues have the most on?

Right now: Engine Shed, DOT Live Low St Dunham On Trent NG22 0FJ, DOT Live. In total we track 22 grassroots venues in Lincoln, of which 3 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Lincoln venue directory.

Where can I find open mic nights in Lincoln?

Lincoln has 14 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 Lincoln open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.

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

Where a Lincoln venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £19.50. 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 Lincoln 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. Lincoln still has 22 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.

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

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