27 nights

Open mics in Liverpool

All 27 Liverpool open micsSign-up times, slots and kit for every night

07 — Support grassroots

Support grassroots music in Liverpool

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Liverpool still has 130 of them.

From Mathew Street to the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool's music heritage is unmatched. Planning a private party instead? See booking live entertainment in Liverpool for bands, singers and DJs for one-off occasions. Booking for the company rather than yourself? See corporate entertainment in Liverpool 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.

Think of this as the city's noticeboard: 178 gigs across Liverpool in the next four weeks, alongside 130 grassroots venues and 27 regular open mic nights, updated daily from the rooms that host them. There is no algorithm and no paid placement. The Jacaranda Club, Camp And Furnace and Jacaranda Baltic have the most on, and the sound leans rock and tribute act.

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 Liverpool listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. If you have never been to an open mic, Hot Water Comedy Club runs one every Sunday.

Go to one this month

178 gigs listed in Liverpool over the next four weeks, with 130 grassroots venues and 27 regular open mic nights. Pick one you have not been to before - a ticket and a round at the bar is the most useful thing anyone can do for a room like these. Saturdays are the busiest for gigs here.

08 — Questions10 answersWhat's on in Liverpool

39 gigs in Liverpool this weekend (Fri 6 Nov – Sun 8 Nov) - including Big Condo Records Presents Bandzilla 25 at The Hold The Shipping Forecast (Friday), St Michaels Live Presents - Stealing Sheep Replay at St Michael In The Hamlet Church (Friday), Monks at Arts Club Liverpool - Loft (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 471 gigs listed in and around Liverpool - second of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Manchester area (796).
We currently list 178 gigs in Liverpool between 4 Nov and 2 Dec, across 34 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 Liverpool in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Liverpool gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Liverpool open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
Saturday, with 61 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Saturday: 61 gigs · Friday: 51 gigs · Thursday: 19 gigs. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
Right now: The Jacaranda Club, Camp And Furnace, Jacaranda Baltic. In total we track 130 grassroots venues in Liverpool, of which 34 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Liverpool venue directory.
Liverpool has 27 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 Liverpool open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Liverpool venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £4.71. 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. Liverpool still has 130 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 Liverpool 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 Liverpool

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Liverpool still has 130 of them.

From Mathew Street to the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool's music heritage is unmatched. Planning a private party instead? See booking live entertainment in Liverpool for bands, singers and DJs for one-off occasions. Booking for the company rather than yourself? See corporate entertainment in Liverpool 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.

Think of this as the city's noticeboard: 178 gigs across Liverpool in the next four weeks, alongside 130 grassroots venues and 27 regular open mic nights, updated daily from the rooms that host them. There is no algorithm and no paid placement. The Jacaranda Club, Camp And Furnace and Jacaranda Baltic have the most on, and the sound leans rock and tribute act.

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 Liverpool listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. If you have never been to an open mic, Hot Water Comedy Club runs one every Sunday.

Go to one this month

178 gigs listed in Liverpool over the next four weeks, with 130 grassroots venues and 27 regular open mic nights. Pick one you have not been to before - a ticket and a round at the bar is the most useful thing anyone can do for a room like these. Saturdays are the busiest for gigs here.

39 gigs in Liverpool this weekend (Fri 6 Nov – Sun 8 Nov) - including Big Condo Records Presents Bandzilla 25 at The Hold The Shipping Forecast (Friday), St Michaels Live Presents - Stealing Sheep Replay at St Michael In The Hamlet Church (Friday), Monks at Arts Club Liverpool - Loft (Friday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.

We currently list 178 gigs in Liverpool between 4 Nov and 2 Dec, across 34 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 Liverpool in the gig directory or every city we cover.

Saturday, with 61 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Saturday: 61 gigs · Friday: 51 gigs · Thursday: 19 gigs. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
Right now: The Jacaranda Club, Camp And Furnace, Jacaranda Baltic. In total we track 130 grassroots venues in Liverpool, of which 34 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Liverpool venue directory.
Liverpool has 27 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 Liverpool open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Liverpool venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £4.71. 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. Liverpool still has 130 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 Liverpool 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.
