About This Open Mic
The Night
Dead Wax Social is a vinyl-obsessed bar in Brighton's North Laine — named after the run-out groove of a record — serving craft beer, cocktails and New York-style pizza with everything spun from vinyl. Its open mic runs weekly on Sundays from 8pm to 11pm, welcoming all musicians; sign up in advance by emailing hello@deadwaxsocial.pub. An intimate, music-first room for a relaxed Sunday-night set.
About Dead Wax Social
Dead Wax Social is a vinyl-led bar and small live room tucked into Brighton's North Laine at 18A Bond Street, named after the run-out groove of a record and built around a high-fidelity setup that spins every track from vinyl. Beyond the DJs and cocktails, the venue runs a real grassroots music programme — weekly music quizzes, open-mic nights and a regular Thursday Greenhouse Jam with the Cashgreen & Green House Band, plus late-night DJ sessions Friday and Saturday. The Live Room's small stage, dedicated sound system and moody lighting make it a popular spot for live music, comedy and showcases, and the whole venue is available for private hire. Open until 2-3am most nights.
