The Wedgewood Rooms is an independent live music venue, in Southsea, Portsmouth, England, which hosts both music and comedy events.
It has a capacity of 400 people,[1] and is located on Albert Road in Southsea.[2] Recently it has hosted events from up-and-coming British pop and rock artists, such as You Me At Six, Kasabian, Mercury Prize winners Klaxons and Travis. It has also become a favourite venue for artists wishing to play more intimate venues, such as Renegades[3] and Bowling For Soup,[4] as well as one-off / warm-up shows for many bands, including Damon Albarn and Jamie T.[5][6]
The Wedgewood Rooms, also known as 'The Wedge' by locals, regularly hosts local band nights. It also holds comedy, club and tribute nights.
The Edge of the Wedge, at the front to the main Wedgewood Rooms, regularly hosts local acts, smaller touring acts and DJs.
