The scene in Norwich

The Waterfront on King Street has been run by the Union of UEA Students since 1993, and its booking history is wider than its indie reputation suggests - past line-ups have included Aphex Twin, Faithless, Moby and The Prodigy alongside its more expected guitar-band bookings.

That mix is fairly typical of Norwich as a whole - the city doesn't split cleanly into a 'clubbing scene' and a 'gig scene', and a lot of nights out cross between the two without anyone thinking twice about it.

Where it happens

The city centre and the area around King Street carry most of the activity, within easy reach of the University of East Anglia campus.

How buying a ticket works, in practice

Every listing above is a real event. Each one links to where its tickets are sold: on On The Door when the promoter sells through us, or on the organiser’s own ticket page. When you buy here, the price you see is the price you pay, with no booking fee added at checkout, and your ticket is a QR code on your phone that you show at the door.
