The Cavern Club is known as the birthplace of The Beatles and hosted musicians from 1950's jazz and skiffle artists to current acts like Adele, Joe Bonamassa and Jessie J. While Queen also performed at the venue a time or 2, the Beatles performed regularly at The Cavern Club, and today, their legacy lives on with generations of new musicians and performers.

At the front stage in the main area of the club, the doors are open 7 days a week from 10 am, and resident artists will begin playing live daily at 11.15 am until late into the evening hours.

Highlights of The Cavern Club

Located in the back stage of The Cavern Club, The Cavern Live Lounge often hosts shows and events such as established artists, Beatles and other musical tribute shows and live contemporary music.

If you can’t get enough, head across the street to check out The Cavern Pub, which features not only more live music, including both solo artists and bands, but also rock memorabilia and pieces of The Cavern Club’s history. Plan ahead if you’d like to attend the Club’s annual ‘Beatleweek’ or any of their other Beatles tours that will take you around Liverpool and surrounding areas.

Good to know about The Cavern Club

Particularly for Cavern Live Lounge shows, try to book your tickets in advance, as they sometimes sell out. A calendar of upcoming shows, times and prices can be found on The Cavern Club’s website. If you’re on a budget and looking to save on ticket prices, see a show at The Cavern Pub across the street, where admission is always free.

If you fancy a meal before or after catching a show, check out the Cavern’s Festival restaurant. Opened in 2018 and also conveniently located on Matthew Street, Festival has 2 floors serving various types of cuisine, including menu items that are suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
