What's On in Leeds
Friday 19 June 2026
Leeds is turning up the volume this Friday, with a night that runs the full spectrum from brooding live sets to proper dancefloor energy. Whether you're lacing up your boots for a gig or heading out for a late one, the city has something to pull you in — and the long June evening only makes it sweeter. Get out there; staying in would be a genuine waste of a good Friday.
Highlights
At1Records Presents : Malachy, Jack-C & Abella — Distrikt Bar is the place to be from 6:00pm as At1Records brings together Malachy, Jack-C and Abella for what promises to be a tightly curated electronic night from a label that clearly has taste. Getting started earlier than most means you can ease into the groove before the city fully wakes up, making it a perfect launchpad for a big Friday. Prices are worth a check on the website, but the lineup alone is reason enough to show up.
Fathers Moustache + Highgate / Lewis Jack Inman / WCSS — The Lending Room has built a reputation as one of Leeds' finest spots for discovering artists before the rest of the world catches on, and this Friday night bill is a perfect example of why. Doors from 7:00pm bring you Fathers Moustache and Highgate alongside Lewis Jack Inman and WCSS — three distinct acts on one stage, which means you are almost guaranteed to leave having heard something that stops you in your tracks. At just £9, it is one of the best-value evenings in the city this week.
Billy Fuller — Brudenell Social Club is a room that has a rare gift for making artists sound their absolute best, and Billy Fuller stepping onto that stage from 7:30pm is a combination well worth your Friday evening. Fuller brings a depth and intensity to his music that rewards a proper listen in a proper venue, rather than through a phone speaker at home. Check the website for ticket details and secure your spot — Brudenell nights like this have a habit of selling out quietly and being talked about for weeks afterwards.
