Welcome to Mike’s List!
What started as a WhatsApp group sharing Secret Shows during the Covid doldrums has grown into something a bit bigger — a place to find out what’s happening in town, support independent artists, and stay connected to the Hastings scene.

The events and happenings listed here spotlight my favourite musicians, promoters, venues, and fellow mischief-makers. Some I’m involved in directly, others are just too good not to share.

The focus is simple: music, food, community, and culture — all served with a local flavour.

Whether you’re a long time Hastinger, DFL (or elsewhere), or in town for the weekend. Thank you for being here, and I hope Mike’s List helps you find your next great night out.
