What a weekend of live music in Kathmandu looks like
Over the last 90 days we listed 78 live-music nights on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays across the valley. The same rooms come up again and again: Campachaur (3 weekend nights), The Juicery Cafe (3 weekend nights), Beach House Bar and Dining (2 weekend nights), Bhumi Restaurant & Bar (2 weekend nights), Club Catwalk (2 weekend nights) and Club NOVA (2 weekend nights).
Most weekend sets start between 4 PM and 8 PM Nepal time. Times on this page come from each organizer's own post, so check the listing before you head out.
About 8% of those nights were confirmed free by the organizer; the rest were ticketed or did not say, and we only mark a gig free when the source does. The list below is every gig confirmed for the coming Friday to Sunday, and it updates daily as new gigs are announced — for everything further out, see live music in Kathmandu or upcoming concerts.
