Out-Spoken Live: 2025

Out-Spoken is London's premier evening of poetry and live music. Each month we celebrate diversity in voice and performance with a stellar line-up of the hottest UK poets alongside a line-up of world-class musicians.

Each gig is hosted by Joelle Taylor, with Sam 'Junior' Bromfield spinning the best in reggae, soul and R&B during the night. Out-Spoken Live is held at The Purcell Room, Southbank Centre.
