From small shows in the back room of pubs, to large-scale concerts catering to thousands in Castle Park, Colchester has a great live music scene attracting nationally touring acts as well as promoting homegrown talent.
It's not all rock music either - you'll discover classical concerts, folk, jazz, experimental sounds and more. If you're not sure what to go for we say it's always worth taking a risk on whatever's happening at Colchester Arts Centre.
