Wellington’s longest running open mic and a gateway to preforming a a Fringe Bar show. Be a part of our supportive and creative community of musicians/poets/performers.

Every Tuesday night we run an open mic which focuses on developing local and visiting talent who knows what you will get at the Fringe Bar! A mixture of performances every week a perfect opportunity for networking and gaining experience on stage.

Performers are allowed to perform 3 songs or fill a time of 15 minutes, covers and original compositions are perfectly acceptable and we love to hear what you have to offer.

Generally first performance starts at 7:30pm and sign ups happen on the night, the night usually ends with performers jamming with one another and exploring new material and ideas. We provide a drum kit, bass guitar with amp an acoustic piano, acoustic guitar, bongos and all of the technical bits and bobs you could need (PA/Mics/Leads/DI boxes).
