The best live music in Elephant & Castle

Did you know that Elephant & Castle was the first stop of Buddy Holly and the Crickets tour of the UK? He performed at the Trocadero Theatre on Saturday 1^st March,1958. We think this solidifies the area’s reputation as a great place to catch live music, whether it’s established acts or up and coming artists.

Here’s a round up of the best upcoming live music in Elephant and Castle.

For those with a refined taste in Jazz and big band music, Toulouse Lautrec should be your venue of choice. Their downstairs Piano Bar and Jazz Club have nightly features with local and celebrated musicians alike.

The weekly L’art de Jazz evening is a jam session for musicians who want to try their hand at playing jazz and collaborating musically. Some weeks there will be a featured artist, after which anyone can take to the stage and play a piece. You will have to book your ticket in advance though.

Find out more via the Toulouse Lautrec website.  

For the trance, dance and electro lovers out there, the Ministry of Sound’s live events calendar is bursting full of dates for your diary. From all night raves to evenings full of disco, you’ll find some of the genre’s biggest names featuring throughout the winter months. View the entire calendar on the Ministry of Sound website.
