About Suburbia
Suburbia is a grassroots music venue in City Centre, Southampton. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
Suburbia books Pop acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Southampton venue directory.
Suburbia is billed as Southampton's most eclectic nightclub and grassroots live-music venue, at 27-29 Onslow Road (SO14 0JD). It opened in April 2017 in the former Lennons site and has since become a hub for emerging and local talent — from indie gigs and punk rock to techno and drum & bass. It hosts weekly open-mic nights showcasing the city's musicians, and runs the notable 'Heavy Jams' on the last Sunday of each month — an all-genres heavy-metal jam with full house backline and instruments provided, open to performers of all skill levels. The crowd is a mix of working musicians, friends and locals. With the house backline in place, solo acts, duos and full bands can all get up and play.
