Support grassroots music in Waterlooville

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Waterlooville still has 12 of them.

Around Waterlooville the open stages are in Chichester - the Havana on Wednesdays, the Hole in the Wall jam on Tuesdays, Trents on Thursdays - with Petersfield and Bognor adding more.

Grassroots rooms are disappearing: 78 stopped hosting live music in the year to July 2025, 30 of them for good, and pubs closed at around two a day in the first quarter of 2026. Lose them and you lose the first rung - the support slots and midweek nights every bigger act started on.

Think of this as the city's noticeboard: 4 gigs across Waterlooville in the next four weeks, alongside 12 grassroots venues and 11 regular open mic nights, updated daily from the rooms that host them. There is no algorithm and no paid placement.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up below sends Waterlooville listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. Start small: The Good Intent hosts an open mic each Sunday.

Counting every upcoming date, there are 14 gigs listed in and around Waterlooville - fifth of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Southampton area (171).
We currently list 4 gigs in Waterlooville between 13 Nov and 11 Dec.

Friday, with 2 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Friday: 2 gigs · Saturday: 1 gig · Sunday: 1 gig. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
We track 12 grassroots venues in Waterlooville — see the Waterlooville venue directory for capacity, backline and opening times.
Waterlooville has 11 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Waterlooville open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Waterlooville venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £26.00. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Waterlooville still has 12 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Waterlooville gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.
