Rock City is a music venue and nightclub located in Nottingham, England. It is owned by venue operator and concert promoter DHP Family.

It opened in December 1980, first hosting The Undertones, and has gone on to host some of the biggest names in alternative music, as well as maintaining a number of weekly club nights. It has been described by NME as "sweaty but truly indie"[1] and has received numerous awards, including Kerrang! magazine's Venue of the Year for ten consecutive years.[2]
