What's On in Leeds
Wednesday 05 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Leeds may be quiet on the calendar this Wednesday, but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in pure, unadulterated charm. One iconic voice, one legendary era, one grand old theatre — sometimes that is all a city night needs to feel absolutely alive. Get your glad rags on and let the music do the rest.
Highlights
Sounds Of The 60s Live - Hosted by Tony Blackburn MBE — Broadcasting royalty Tony Blackburn brings his beloved Sounds Of The 60s show off the airwaves and onto the stage of the magnificent Leeds Grand Theatre for one glorious evening of Motown, pop, and all the sun-soaked sounds that defined a decade. Whether you danced to these songs first time around or you have grown up hearing them drift from a parent's record player, there is something deeply joyful about hearing them live, in a room full of people who feel exactly the same way. Doors open for a 7:30pm start — check the website for ticket prices and availability before they are gone.
