About This Open Mic
The Night
Tramshed is a 1,000-capacity live-music and arts venue in a Grade II-listed former tram depot on Clare Road, Cardiff, programming touring bands, club nights, comedy and DJs. It is not an open-mic venue — there's no recurring open mic or acoustic come-and-play session here, and the earlier listing for one appears to have been a data error. If you're looking to perform, this is a ticketed gig venue rather than an open stage.
