● City of Music
City of Music Whether it’s smooth jazz in a cosy wine bar, local rockers in a lively pub or a big name gracing the City Hall stage, you’ll easily find great live music any night of the week in Sheffield city centre. Sheffield has long been associated with electronic music, since the likes of The Human League found international fame for their synthpop singles and hairdos in the 1980s. Today, the city has a rich reputation for varied musical exports – from Britpoppers Pulp, with their hip-twirling frontman Jarvis Cocker, to dance poppers Moloko; quiffed crooner Richard Hawley to the arena-filling Arctic Monkeys and bleep techno pioneers Forgemasters. Eager music fans, gig-goers and nightclubbers can expect a phased return to live music and club nights from June 2021. Keep your eyes on the venues’ calendars as they start to get their groove back.
