Live Music & Gigs in Sheffield

Sheffield's gig scene is mostly a short walk from the centre. Sidney & Matilda has several rooms and tickets from £5 in advance, Hatch keeps things loud and cheap with doors from about £5 across indie, punk and electronic nights, and Hagglers Corner runs kids' art clubs and piano lessons by day before turning into bars and gigs after dark. West Street Live and PANKE SOCIAL both run into the small hours and aren't places for children. For teenagers, Corporation and Network are both 14+, with Network's prices moving a lot depending on how early you book, and Corporation spreading gigs and club nights across four rooms. Younger children are better served by STEELYARD's family rave, all ages welcome, with five food traders if anyone gets hungry. OEC Sheffield leans towards tribute acts and party bookings rather than a family day out. For something further out, Birdwell Venue in Barnsley has 14+ tribute gigs and club nights from £18 with free parking on site, doors at 7pm.
