About This Open Mic
The Night
The Wedgewood Rooms is Southsea's beloved 400-capacity independent live music venue, open since 1992. Its open-mic night is GRAB DA MIC — billed as Portsmouth's longest-running hip-hop night — a monthly open cypher where anyone can step up to rap over a live DJ spinning boom-bap, classic hip-hop, grime, garage and rap. Doors are at 7pm, entry is £4, and it's all-ages (under-14s with an adult).
