Toilet circuit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The toilet circuit is the network of small venues in the United Kingdom which rising indie, rock and metal bands must visit to gain support and promote themselves. It is so named after The Forum in Tunbridge Wells, a staple venue of the toilet circuit, which is actually a public toilet converted into a venue.[1] Most of Britain's larger towns are home to at least one Toilet circuit venue, although a regular toilet circuit tour is only around 20 dates long at the most, and could not possibly visit each town. Some towns, however, appear on almost every tour, such as London, Manchester and Nottingham, and these towns accordingly have many venues which could be described as "toilet venues".
