Our Plymouth Music Ambassador Grace Lightman is back with another round of brilliant live music picks — and October’s got it all. From high-energy bhangra and experimental electronica to album launches and old-school knees-ups, this month is a total genre-mash in the best possible way.
Mark your calendars and dig into Grace’s top picks below:
10 October – RSVP Bhangra + Gypsindicate Live @ The Roundabout
Presented by Pogo Events, this will be a night of explosive energy and joy, with the legendary RSVP Bhangra bringing their vibrant, horn-fuelled bhangra party to The Roundabout.
Support comes from Gypsindicate Live, fusing flamenco, Balkan beats and hip hop for a truly global sound.
10 October – fIsh56Octagon @ The Depo
A bold, high-octane night of live jungle, breaks and experimental electronics from underground collective fIsh56Octagon. Expect sonic chaos, visual stimulation, and a sweaty dancefloor — one for the ravers and sound explorers.
18 October – A Right Old Ding Dong @ Market Hall, Devonport
Hosted in the stunning immersive dome of Market Hall, this unique experience blends music, film, and storytelling.
An eccentric celebration of community and heritage, A Right Old Ding Dong invites you into a world of memory, magic and West Country charm.
24 October – Cat Rose Band + Daisy Mae @ B-Bar
Enjoy a cosy evening of blues, soul and roots music from Cat Rose Band, supported by the wonderful Daisy Mae.
B-Bar’s intimate setting and candlelit vibe make it the perfect backdrop for this stripped-back, soul-filled session.
31 October – Jon Fazal @ Nook Houseplants
It’s Halloween — and what better way to spend it than with Jon Fazal, launching his new album Insomniac’s Ball in one of Plymouth’s most magical venues.
Part gig, part party, part botanical dream — this promises to be a beautiful night of music, meaning and connection.
