On this day 30 years ago King Tut’s opened it’s doors for the very first time!
The following night we welcomed Martin Stephenson & The Daintees, who played the very first gig in the venue.

The basement music venue on St Vincent Street is planning a year-long programme of events to mark the milestone birthday.
Over the years 'tuts' has played host to Radiohead, The Verve, Manic Street Preachers, Florence & the Machine and more recently Lewis Capaldi.
It was launched by DF Concerts’ founder Stuart Clumpas in February 1990 in the former Saints and Sinners pub, who said it was thanks to money made from promoting Deacon Blue he was able to take over the venue.
