The Leadmill

The Leadmill is Sheffield’s longest running live music venue and nightclub. It first opened its doors in 1980 and has hosted some of the biggest live acts in the world. It has been voted as Sheffield’s best live music venue on numerous occasions and has also won national awards including from the NME and Live UK.

The Leadmill is now firmly established as Sheffield’s premier live music venue and as one of the most renowned venues on the live music scene. Franz Ferdinand once told the Arcade Fire that playing the Leadmill was seen as a “rite of passage” and seasoned acts still recall the time they played the venue and opt to play here when they could be filling much larger venues instead.

After 6 years of hosting our very own Comedy Club we now are well-known and respected for seated events and comedy shows within the city. We have hosted comedians such as Joe Lycett, Sarah Pascoe, Eddy Izzard, Jason Manford and are soon to host James Acaster.
