About The Ayr Pavilion

The Ayr Pavilion is a grassroots music venue in Ayr seafront, Ayr with a standing capacity of approximately 650. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.

The Ayr Pavilion books Rock, Tribute, Northern soul, Classical, Pop acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Ayr venue directory.

The Ayr Pavilion is a recently revived seafront landmark on the Esplanade at Ayr, South Ayrshire (KA7 1EQ) — not London, as the import wrongly logged. After more than 30 years away from live music, it has reopened as a 650-standing / 250-seated venue with a renewed focus on rock, heritage and touring acts and high-quality tribute productions (its relaunch bill paired Definitely Oasis with The Complete Stone Roses). The room runs a state-of-the-art house PA backed by a professional in-house technical team, and programmes broadly across genres — live rock bands, comedy, Northern Soul, classical and family shows. A 450-space underground car park sits beneath the building. A real, fully-operational mid-scale music venue.
