The Wedgewood Rooms is an independent live music venue, in Southsea, Portsmouth, England, which hosts both music and comedy events.

It has a capacity of 400 people,[1] and is located on Albert Road in Southsea.[2] Recently it has hosted events from up-and-coming British pop and rock artists, such as You Me At Six, Kasabian, Mercury Prize winners Klaxons, Travis and English Teacher (band). It has also become a favourite venue for artists wishing to play more intimate venues, such as Renegades[3] and Bowling For Soup,[4] as well as one-off / warm-up shows for many bands, including Damon Albarn and Jamie T.[5][6]

The Wedgewood Rooms, also known as 'The Wedge' by locals, regularly hosts local band nights. It also holds comedy, club and tribute nights.

The Edge of the Wedge, a smaller venue to the front to the main Wedgewood Rooms, regularly hosts local acts, smaller alternative acts and DJs.
