The Brickyard

Carlisle's live music venue

About Me

The Brickyard is Carlisle's premier and only full-time live music venue. Since 2002, we have been dedicated to the growth of Carlisle's indigenous talents - bands, DJs and promoters alike.
In the first 5 years, a host of talents have come to play at the venue: bands like Arctic Monkeys , Kasabian and the Fratellis all played here on their upward curve. Such punk legends as the Damned , the Slits, Stiff Little Fingers and the Undertones have all played the Brickyard stage, also rocked (and rocked hard) by everyone from the Datsuns through to Biffy Clyro, Reuben and Amen. Everyone from the Scratch Perverts and DJ Yoda, to Mani, Peter Hook and the Futureheads have played DJ sets here. True mavericks from Roy Harper, John Cooper Clarke and the Fall , through to the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Pete Doherty's BabyShambles , have all made their mark here.
We are now drawing a line under all of this, and heading into 2008 with fresh highs in mind. We're going to deal with all the Delays , Displacements , Maybes? , and TBCs as best we can, and strive to give you the Brickyard we all deserve. Spread the word!
