The Sub Rooms Welcomes a Powerful Pair of Performances for Independent Venue Week 2026!
What is Independent Venue Week About?
Independent Venue Week (IVW) is the UK’s annual 7-day celebration of independent music & arts venues and the people that own, run and work in them.
A national project with a local feel, since its inception in 2013 and first iteration in 2014, IVW has empowered local music communities, with thousands of artists playing thousands of shows in villages, towns & cities all around the UK and the US.
We bring independent venues directly together with artists, promoters, agents, record labels and media to create a unique series of special live events across the U.K.. Alongside valued long term partners including Arts Council England as well as BBC 6 Music as official broadcast partner, IVW is also championed by a different Ambassador every year, which have included Colin Greenwood (Radiohead), Arlo Parks, Anna Calvi, Adrian Utley (Portishead), Nadine Shah, Wolf Alice, Wet Leg and many more.
Sat 31st Jan | The Pill + support
No-filter, shameless punk throwing jokes, cringe, and good vibes all around. Simply giggling at the hurdles of life. Drawing from dire situations, like your scaffolder seeing you naked, and the woes of your hair being too blonde.
Sun 1st Feb | Romeo Stodart & Ren Harvieu
Romeo Stodart and Ren Harvieu are unveiling an entirely new and exciting show together live. The RnR Show will be taking their songs and stories into some of the UK’s most beautiful and intimate rooms. The pair promise a show as riveting as it is ramshackle, as romantic as it is rambunctious.
