From sweaty basement clubs to vast arenas, certain venues have shaped the sound of British music. Rank these iconic spaces by their cultural weight and personal meaning to you.
Put the items in your preferred order.
The Cavern Club
The Merseyside cellar where The Beatles cut their teeth across nearly 300 performances. It remains a pilgrimage site for anyone who cares about the origins of modern pop.
Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage
Not a venue in the traditional sense, but arguably the most watched stage in British music thanks to the BBC. A Pyramid headline slot is the closest thing we have to a coronation.

The Hacienda
Factory Records' famously unprofitable club that birthed the Madchester scene and changed British nightlife forever. Its influence still echoes through dance music today.
Royal Albert Hall
From the Proms to Adele's career-defining residency, the domed Victorian hall lends gravitas to any performance it hosts. Few stages carry such weight of history.
The 100 Club
A small basement that hosted the 1976 Punk Festival and helped launch the Sex Pistols, The Clash and Siouxsie. It still champions new music against all economic odds.
