Toilet circuit

The toilet circuit is the network of small music venues in the United Kingdom which rising indie, rock and metal bands often visit to gain support and promote themselves.

[1] The name may refer to the size and often the cleanliness of the venue,[2] or a lack of dressing rooms leading to the band being required to change in the toilets.

[3] Most of Britain's large towns and cities are home to at least one toilet circuit venue, although a regular toilet circuit tour is only around 20 dates long at the most, meaning not all of the said venues are present in all toilet-circuit tours.

Frank Turner also references it in the song "I Still Believe", as "toilet circuit touring stops".

[5][1][6] Rock Sound TV has used the "Toilet Circuit" moniker to film a series of acoustic performances filmed in the grimiest locations at music venues across the UK, featuring bands such as The Blackout, Thrice, Futures, Lights, Vessels and Deaf Havana.
