We book & promote signed bands for The Tunnels in Aberdeen

ALL BOOKING ENQUIRIES & ANY OTHER MESSAGES FOR THESE TO [email protected]

Allegedly we are doing some good things - Thanks to www.thisismusic.com for these kind words. It made us all fuzzy!

"Aberdeen Gig Promotions have definitely restored some interest back to The Tunnels in the last couple of months, appearing out of no-where to suddenly booking some cracking line-ups and promoting the hell out of them. So it comes as no surprise that the Tunnels is heaving this evening with a headliner that has appeared all over the music press in the last couple of months." - referring to our Lightspeed Champion gig. Awwwwh! :)

Check out our listings on the right for whats coming up. Theres a handy link for buying tickets from our friends at Ticketweb too!

We book signed bands. We will be nice to local bands we think deserve it by giving out support slots when we can

LOCAL BANDS - PLEASE ONLY MESSAGE IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A VALID SUPPORT SLOT FOR OUR LISTINGS ON THIS PAGE. ONLY MESSAGE IF YOU THINK YOU FIT A GIG AND BEFORE DOING SO PLS READ OUR BLOG FOR WHAT INFO WE NEED. DO NOT SEND MESSAGES JUST LOOKING FOR GIGS - for this email [email protected] - WE WILL GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU IF WE LIKE YOU.

Hope you find something you like here and please come say hi when you come to a gig. Our ugly mugs are below so you know who we are (although I appear to have gone sideways for no reason..mmm!)
Thanks x

We love the following.
