About The Roundhouse
The Roundhouse is a grassroots music venue in Halliwell, Bolton with a standing capacity of 250. It books Tribute, Covers, Indie, Rock; originals and covers are both welcome.
Listing notes
The Roundhouse is a social venue on Kenton Close in Halliwell, on the north side of Bolton, with room for up to 250 for parties, sport and live music. It's a community function space first, but the gig calendar has become a big part of what it does.
Most shows are tribute nights on Fridays and Saturdays - Oasis, The Jam, Stone Roses and Courteeners, Gerry Cinnamon, Thin Lizzy and Bowie have all been through - usually with doors at 7pm and the band on around 8pm. The occasional Roundhouse Rocks bill mixes local originals, like Bolton indie band The Velvetines, with local covers outfits.
If you're a tribute or covers act in the Bolton area, this is a room built for you; local original bands can ask about the mixed bills. Email the venue through the enquiries address on its website.
