About Baton Rouge Leicester

This is the background on Baton Rouge Leicester, from the venue and its listings. It books country, covers and pop acts. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

Baton Rouge Leicester is a grassroots music venue in 41 Rutland St, Leicester. It books Country, Covers, Pop, Rock.

Listing notes

Baton ‌‌‍Rouge is a Nashville-themed bar in Leicester's city centre, in the Queen's Building at 41 Rutland Street (LE1 1RE), directly opposite the Curve theatre. It leans into a southern-US, country-and-covers atmosphere with in-house DJs, a live band, line dancing and karaoke, and also operates as a venue-hire space. Performances mix covers, country and pop-rock for a party crowd; the bar runs a house PA and takes both originals and covers. A polished, themed city-centre live-music and events bar rather than a stripped-back grassroots room.
