Hull Open Mic FAQs

6 answers about open mics in Hull, from the best nights for new performers and what is on tonight to whether they are free, which have full backline and how to get a regular slot.

What's the best open mic in Hull for new performers?

Cherry's Bar is one of the most-recommended starter mics — check the cards above for full backline + walk-in sign-up venues, which tend to be most welcoming for first-timers. For broader context, browse the UK open mic directory.

Where can I find an open mic in Hull tonight?

Hull has 6 different open-mic nights running across the week. Use the day filter above to see what's on tonight.

What else is on in Hull besides open mics?

Open mics are the regular, low-key layer of the scene. For the ticketed and one-off bills, what’s on in Hull over the next four weeks lists every grassroots gig we hold for the city — often at the same venues that host these mics. The full evergreen listing is the Hull gig directory.

Are Hull open mics free?

None of the 18 open mics we list in Hull has an entry fee listed - most open mics are free to play and watch, but check with the venue.

Which Hull open mics provide a full backline?

1 of Hull's 18 open mics have a full backline (drum kit, guitar amp, bass amp, mics). Filter by 'Full backline' tag to see them.

How do I get a regular slot at a Hull open mic?

Show up to the same mic 4-6 weeks in a row — hosts run on consistency. Once you're known, ask the host about a featured or paid support slot. We've written a longer guide on how to get paid gigs as a UK artist.
