GIGS OUT

GIGS OUT The hub for local gig/festival/venue/artist information in the East of Englan region (Beds/Cambs/Essex/Herts/Norfolk/Suffolk).

Gigs Out started in the not so sleepy English market town of St Ives in Cambridgeshire in 2010 and slowly and surely spread across East Anglia. In 2011 a pilot gig guide was launched on the Avalon Event Support website and then grew to list thousands of local gigs on the Gigs Out website each year, with over 1000 venues listed and over 800 Acts! There were 10s of 1000s of visits/page views to the

website. In 2019 our gig-goers were starting to use social media much more than the website. Excellent online gig guides like Grapevine Live provide great info on what’s on so we stopped using the website and concentrated on building a local gig lovers community and sharing events on our social media pages :)

Our Facebook group is the mainstay of Gigs Out now with thousands of followers. We share the gigs posted on the group on our local pages. We also run the East Anglian Festival Network www.eafn.co.uk and have pages to let you know what Festivals are on across East Anglia (in Cambridgeshire, Essex Norfolk and Suffolk)....Around 700 Festivals, Fairs and Fundays per year in the four counties. Did you know that in East Anglia we have around 4 Million people across the 6000 square miles of our 4 counties (6% of the nations population - that must mean there's an awful lot of gig-goers in our area :)
