Music

Take in some live music in Portsmouth on your next visit. The city’s music venues have gone down in local legend, welcoming some huge names along the way.

Did you know, for example, that Pink Floyd gave their seminal album Dark Side of the Moon its full live debut right here – at the Portsmouth Guildhall? The venue has welcomed a whole host of huge acts since then, including Led Zeppelin, The Cure, U2, New Order, The Ramones, Take That, The Prodigy, Iron Maiden, McFly, Mumford & Sons, Girls Aloud, and Manic Street Preachers.

On their way up, bands usually call into the Pyramids Centre, situated right on Southsea Seafront. Surely enough, the Arctic Monkeys, Florence + The Machine, Muse, The Maccabees, Mark Ronson and Coldplay are just some of the big names that called into the Pyramids on their way up.

And let’s not forget the iconic Wedgewood Rooms. A starting point for many great acts, ‘The Wedge’ has played host to a number of bands that have since gone stratospheric. Some lucky punters got to see Kasabian, Tim Minchin, Pulp and The Killers here, on their way to superstardom. Get yourself a ticket to an upcoming show and you never know – that act you saw with a few hundred others could be headlining Glastonbury one day!
