The Count Down to Christmas has truly begun!… And what better way to celebrate the countdown, than with a feast of live music! At this time of year, pubs, bars and other music venues ramp up the live music to entertain us, and Swindon’s Live Music Scene is looking awesome!

Get ready for another awesome weekend of live music around Swindon! We have one of the best, if not the best live music scenes in the South West, with venues like MECA, The Vic, and many more!

Also check out out Boxing Day & New Years Eve Gig Guides, and rock through to 2026!

SOBER SUNDAYS + Support

We are hopelessly excited to be able to bring you probably the band who made the biggest new-band impression at Swinterfest, and then followed it up with another festival-stealing set at The Shuffle this year.

Bath based five-piece Sober Sundays were formed in 202and began making a name for themselves through their energetic and chaotic live performances. With lyric-driven song writing, focused on past experiences and feelings as adolescents. Sober Sundays create a jangly soundscape on which the frontman, Finn Hustler, can say his piece, with the full force and backing of the band.

Music from 8.30pm. Entry free but as always please show your appreciation by bringing some cash for the artists tip-jar and help support live music

Time: 8:30pm
