End of Year Show: Art/design/fashion - Opening Night Viewing
Opening night viewing for the End of Year Show: Art/Design/Fashion at Leeds Beckett University.
You can find a mix of live music and creative events in Leeds this week. The week kicks off with performances across genres at venues like The Wardrobe and Lending Room. There are dedicated nights for indie, electronic, and hip hop acts, with shows from both rising artists and established names. Highlights include a high-energy set by Twin Frequency at Society Leeds and a freestyle rap performance by MC Hammersmith at The Wardrobe. For social gatherings, check out the speed dating events at Chino Latino or the Muslim marriage networking night at Mumtaz Restaurant. The city’s cultural heartbeat remains strong, with music at venues such as Northern Guitars Bar and Beaver Works. The HIFI Club hosts a comedy night with Matt Bragg, while Distrikt features a live DJ set by Vitess. Expect a varied schedule, from club nights to genre-blending performances and themed events. You can find these events at venues across the city, with options just outside the city, including a day trip to Saltaire for the vintage fair at Victoria Hall. Consider visiting the area around the Royal Armouries and the riverside bars, or explore markets like Kirkgate Market for local crafts and food. Leeds Railway Station and the bus network offer access to these locations, but parking is limited, and 22 car parks will close from 27 March 2026, so using public transport or cycling is recommended. Plan your week around the listings, which include live shows and events along the River Aire and at Millennium Square.
