Support grassroots music in Southport

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Southport still has 5 of them.

In Southport The Windmill on the Promenade has music Thursday to Sunday, The Southport Coaster on Lord Street books rock, and Birkers in Birkdale runs Thursday bands.

In the year to July 2025, 78 UK grassroots venues stopped putting on live music and 30 closed outright, while pubs shut at about two a day in early 2026. Each one was somewhere a band played its first paid gig or a songwriter tried a new song on a room of strangers.

This page exists to make them easy to find. It lists 0 gigs across Southport over the next four weeks, pulled from the venues themselves and updated daily - alongside the 5 grassroots venues and 2 regular open mic nights we track in the city. No algorithm decides what you see: it is simply everything we know is on.

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 Southport listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. Start small: The Windmill hosts an open mic each Friday.

Nothing is listed in Southport for this weekend (Sun 1 Nov) yet - see the next 28 days below, or the Blackpool area open mics, which run every week.
We currently list 0 gigs in Southport between 1 Nov and 29 Nov. 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 and around Blackpool in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Southport gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Blackpool area open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
There is no clear busiest night in Southport at the moment — the 0 listed gigs are spread thinly across the 28-day window. Listings update daily.
We track 5 grassroots venues in Southport — see the Blackpool area venue directory for capacity, backline and opening times.
Southport has 2 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 Blackpool area open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Most Southport venues in our listings do not publish a ticket price in advance. 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. Southport still has 5 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 Blackpool area 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.
