THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

One of Sheffield’s most famous musical exports celebrated a homecoming in style last month. The multi-platinum-selling Def Leppard paid homage to their roots, delivering a masterclass in rock performance to 30,000 adoring fans gathered at Bramall Lane. But when it comes to Sheffield icons, we’re just getting warmed up! This month, High Green heroes Arctic Monkeys stop off at Hillsborough Park as part of the UK tour for their latest album, The Car, before the legendary Jarvis Cocker returns to Sheffield Arena 14-15 July for Pulp’s first set of live shows together since 2012 (supported by a chap who’s pretty popular around these ends, a certain Richard Hawley). Not too shabby to get you into the swing of things for summer, eh?
