Where to Play in Croydon

Croydon gives a self booking musician a workable mix of rooms. The club circuit is the busiest part of the scene, with venues such as Soulful Cellar, The Granaries and Palm Beach Club programming late sets across the week. Alongside them sit theatres and cultural centres that run seated, ticketed shows: Fairfield Halls, The Front Room and Croydon Clocktower each take a different kind of act, from acoustic bills to fuller productions. There are also dedicated concert venues and event spaces used for one off promotions. Each listing here gives you the contact route to the person who actually programmes the room, so you can send a short pitch, a link and your available dates without going through an agent. Booking policies differ from venue to venue, so read the entry, check what the room usually hosts, and write to the booker directly rather than sending the same message everywhere.
