Events in Southampton

Southampton's events cover a mix of student nights, club events, live music, and DJ sets. Term time brings a packed schedule across multiple venues. House, electronic, and drum and bass events have grown in recent years, with regular nights booking touring DJs. Engine Rooms and The 1865 host live music from touring acts.

Weekends are the busiest period, with Bedford Place and the city centre filling up. Midweek events are mainly student-focused. Summer is quieter but not inactive, with outdoor events around the waterfront. The O2 Guildhall is the main arena-level venue for larger touring acts.
