Music events are a perfect way to enjoy music with similar people, sharing the love for an act or song. Whether you are raving in a night club, or you’re sat with in an open mic night, creating some of the most unforgettable experiences. To help you reminisce, or look out for new events we have listed some of the best independent music venue’s in the UK.

Deaf Institute – Manchester

Manchester has become home to so many different artists performing live month on month. There are friendly venues placed everywhere in Manchester, but The Deaf Institute has seen a variety of events. It doesn’t only feature some popular events, it also features an aesthetically pleasing Victorian building, on all three floors, and is finished with aged wood. It was once voted the Best Venue in 2013, by Manchester Evening News, so we’re not the only ones who are in favour of The Deaf Institute.

The Leadmill – Sheffield

Similar to The Deaf Institute, The Leadmill has been going strong since 1980! It has gone from strength to strength, hosting some incredible events with a hugely atmospheric main room. Not only is there a huge main room, but the smaller room placed within are known to show off the popular venue. Bands and customers love it and its even hosted the Artic Monkey’s in 2005! It’s fair to say The Leadmill is a special space.

The Thekla – Bristol

The Thekla is quite possibly the most impressive of all the venues on the list. With the parties being hosted on a boat and two rooms, The Thekla has hosted a variety of parties, bands and nights. If you are concerned about being seasick, don’t worry it doesn’t move, so you can love life, party and not worry about being sea sick.

The Limelight – Belfast

For those looking to venture out a little The Limelight in Belfast is exactly what you need. It has four spacious rooms with a huge variety of music available. With a rich tradition, The Limelight hosted Oasis in 1994 and never looked back. If you want a variety of styles and music, The Limelight is exactly where you need to go to next!

The Royal Albert Hall – London

The capital hosts some of the UK’s best independent music venues. There aren’t many more magnificent venues than The Royal Albert Hall, which was once only used for classical music! The Royal Albert Hall has seen acts such as The Wombats and Pet Shop Boys, with its wonderful venue and beautiful surroundings.

Islington Mill – Salford

Islington Mill has always been seen as a successor to the hugely popular Haçienda, which dominated in the 80’s and 90’s. Islington Mill was founded shortly after, in 2000 and with its independent label, it became hugely popular with so many different artists.
