  • What are stage times for the shows?
    Exact stage times are not advertised as we often don’t have particularly accurate information until a couple of days before the event, sometimes not even until the day of the gig itself! When we do get accurate stage times we try as often as possible to post them on the facebook event on the day of the show. As a general rule of thumb for gigs if doors open at 7.30 you should expect any support bands to be on between around 7.45 and 9pm with the headline band on stage somewhere between 9pm and 9.30pm ending around 10.30 or 11pm
  • What time do the gigs finish?
    Again it can be quite varied, but we try to get most shows finished by 11pm, so people have enough time to make public transport. The front bar does have a 2am license if you want to carry on partying after the gig.
