What's On in Leeds
Tuesday 03 November 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Tuesday nights in Leeds have no business being this good. From Brudenell's intimate brick walls to the electric energy of Stylus, the city is pulling on its boots and heading out for a proper evening of live music — and tonight there are sounds to suit every soul, whether you want to mosh, sway, or simply close your eyes and let something beautiful wash over you.
Highlights
Alien Ant Farm — These early-noughties rock icons are back and they still absolutely go for it — if you were screaming along to Smooth Criminal in your teens, this is your moment of glorious, unashamed nostalgia. Stylus is the perfect room for it: a mid-size venue with enough space to move but intimate enough that you can feel the energy bouncing off every wall. Doors from 7:00pm, so get there early and get yourself a spot — check the website for ticket prices.
Nick Hakim — If you have not yet discovered Nick Hakim, tonight at Brudenell Social Club is the kind of gig you will be telling people about for years. The New York singer-songwriter deals in tender, hazy soul — the sort of music that feels like it is being played just for you, in a room lit by a single lamp. Brudenell is one of the finest small venues in the country and it suits Hakim's intimate, searching sound perfectly; doors are at 7:30pm and this one is not to be slept on. Check the website for tickets.
Cootie Catcher — Head over to the Lending Rooms at 7:30pm for a chance to catch Cootie Catcher in what promises to be a characterful and unpredictable night of live music in one of Leeds' most charming independent venues. If you love discovering acts before the rest of the world catches up, this is exactly the kind of Tuesday night gamble that tends to pay off beautifully. Check the website for ticket details and make a point of arriving with an open mind.
