Sheffield is a city on the up. It’s a thriving centre of sporting and cultural destinations with a great selection of music venues, large and small and, with a proud tradition of both entertaining and producing pop royalty, you’re sure of a good time.

Sheffield’s famous musical exports span the decades, including the 1980s with acts including rock band Def Leppard and on into the 1990s with arguably Sheffield’s most famous sons, indie band Pulp, fronted by the instantly recognisable Jarvis Cocker. Arctic Monkeys became the next big Sheffield band to take up the mantle in the 2000s.

There have been some very memorable concerts in Sheffield over the last few years, many of them involving local bands. The Last Shadow Puppets, a supergroup featuring Arctic Monkey’s singer Alex Turner, played at Sheffield’s stunning City Hall venue in April 2016, enjoying the intimate venue and interacting with the fans. It was an emotional occasion when Sheffield’s finest, Def Leppard came to town in December 2015, filling the Motorpoint Arena with all their big hits including Let’s Get Rocked and Pour Some Sugar On Me. Band members were moved to tears by the noise of the adoring crowd.
