About The Jericho Tavern
Oxford’s legendary live music pub where Radiohead, Supergrass and generations of artists found their stage
Located on Walton Street in the heart of Jericho, The Jericho Tavern is one of Oxford’s most iconic pubs — a venue where decades of live music history, community and character come together.
Famous for hosting early performances from some of the city’s biggest musical exports, the pub is where Radiohead played their first gig in 1986 under their original name On A Friday, while Supergrass performed there during the early stages of their rise to international success.
Since then, The Jericho Tavern has remained a cornerstone of Oxford’s grassroots music scene, welcoming emerging artists alongside established acts including Foals, Mumford & Sons, Bastille, Stornoway and Lianne La Havas.
Beyond its musical legacy, the pub offers a relaxed setting for food, drinks and socialising, with a traditional pub atmosphere in one of Oxford’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Its walls celebrate the venue’s history, reflecting the many memorable performances that have helped shape the city’s cultural identity.
With its combination of live music heritage, community spirit and classic pub appeal, The Jericho Tavern remains a must-visit destination for music fans, Oxford locals and visitors wanting to experience a genuine part of the city’s story.
