The venueEverything on in Hastings and St Leonards tonight, plus the rest of the week and the weeks after. Bexhill, Rye, Battle and the rest of the coast too — switch towns at the top of any page.
Browse it however suits: by venue, by the 160-odd local acts who play them, or by the promoters putting the nights on. Festivals have a page of their own, and this town runs a lot of them. Every week the Gig Crunch takes the week apart, and there are longer pieces when something’s worth more than a listing. Putting on a gig? List it — it’s free.
