The Kings is a well-established live music venue located in Southsea, Portsmouth. Originally built as a Victorian music hall in 1894, it operated under various names – including the Palace Theatre and the Regent – hosting diverse performances such as variety shows and cinema screenings throughout the 20th century. It underwent significant refurbishment in recent years to reinstate its function as a dedicated music venue. The Kings now focuses primarily on showcasing live music across multiple genres, with a particular emphasis on rock, indie, and increasingly, jazz performances. The building retains many of its original architectural features while providing modern sound and lighting facilities for artists and audiences.
