Music Venues

Nottingham’s live music scene has been thriving for over a decade, with stars such as Jake Bugg, Sleaford Mods, Natalie Duncan and London Grammar all hailing from the city and bringing a flavour of Nottingham’s unique character to the world. But there are still countless acts keeping it local, with live music in many of our fantastic bars and venues almost any night of the week, such as Peggy's Skylight, an iconic jazz club that showcases incredible local and international talent, including Nottingham's own Natalie Duncan, within a warm and inviting venue.

Nottingham’s modern art gallery, Nottingham Contemporary, attracts an array of eclectic international and national musicians to their Saturday evening programme of music, with more gigs often throughout the week. The brand new Metronome sees a diverse line-up of moving image, live performance and spoken word from across the country and beyond.

Victorian music hall The Malt Cross is a gorgeous venue hosting regular gigs, events and workshops, including Traditional Irish Sessions and open mics every month. Check out a diverse selection of touring bands at Castle Rock's brewery tap The Vat & Fiddle, which is starting to flourish as a centre for live music in the city.

The Motorpoint Arena Nottingham has hosted world-renowned musical stars such as Sir Elton John, Oasis, The Who and Duran Duran and comedic personalities such as Lee Evans and John Bishop – with amazing stage sets and a huge capacity, this is the place to catch unforgettable legendary shows.

Nottingham is of course home to the legendary Rock City, but you can also catch more big name touring bands performing at their sister venues - Rescue Rooms and The Bodega.

Throughout the year Nottinghamshire holds regular music festivals, including Dot to Dot and Splendour Festival. For more music festivals, click here.
