Leicester is a major centre for rock music in the UK. Our city is home to hundreds of current bands playing original rock music and those specialising in covers. We are also the home town of one of the world's biggest bands - Kasabian.

With well over 2000 rock musicians in the city, there are a great many recording studios, rehearsal rooms and some record labels. We have a page that advertises vacancies for musicians in Leicester and Leicestershire.

New bands are forming all the time; some bands change their names or membership and some stop playing. We cover all of this in our pages on bands news and new bands.

Rock gigs take place every day of the week in our eight live music venues and regular summer festivals. In addition to bands, there are dozens of solo singers and acoustic artists who are out performing almost every night of the week in one venue or another.
