Concerts and clubbing in Leeds

Over the coming months, Leeds will host some of the best-known concerts in Leeds and a strong line-up of events in Leeds, especially around September, when rock, indie and electronic sounds fill the calendar. Highlights include The Surfrajettes at Belgrave Music Hall, bringing their Canadian surf-rock energy, Man/Woman/Chainsaw at Brudenell Social Club, with a sharp mix of alternative rock, post-punk and noise, and Dead Bob at Brudenell Social Club, John Wright’s art-punk project. You can also look out for Feng at Project House, whose rap leans into club energy and pop melody, Swim Deep at Brudenell Social Club, with their hazy British indie-pop, and Francis of Delirium at Headrow House, where raw guitars meet melodic indie rock. For something more experimental and intimate, Lauren Auder at Brudenell Social Club is also worth noting. There is also David Essex at Victoria Theatre, who brings songs and stories from a long career. Altogether, the months ahead span established touring names and newer scene acts. When it comes to clubbing in Leeds, this selection is more live-music led than nightclub-focused, but it still gives a clear sense of what is happening across the city.
