The Tunnels is one of Aberdeen's best-loved live-music venues, carved out of a pair of disused 19th-century Victorian railway tunnels off Carnegie's Brae (AB10 1BF). The dual-tunnel layout gives it two distinct but connected spaces — one for intimate gigs (bands like Elephant Sessions have played folk-infused sets here under dynamic backlighting), the other primed for DJs running house and techno — with a flexible capacity from around 80 up to 300. It books rock, indie, folk and Celtic/Irish acts (the source gig was folk act Gnoss) and remains a key part of Aberdeen's grassroots music scene.
