What's On in Sheffield
Thursday 18 June 2026
Thursday night in Sheffield has that particular crackle of energy — the working week is nearly done, and the city is ready to let loose. From a sweat-soaked funk blowout to a stage thrown wide open for whoever fancies a go, there is something stirring tonight for music lovers of every stripe.
Highlights
Sonic Sheffield Presents: Crunk Up The Funk! — Yellow Arch Studios — one of Sheffield's most beloved and characterful live music spaces — plays host to what promises to be a gloriously sweaty celebration of funk, groove, and everything in between. Crunk Up The Funk is the kind of night where the bassline hits you before you even find the bar, and at just £5–£8 it is an absolute steal for a Thursday evening out. Doors open at 7:00pm, so get there early, find your spot on the floor, and prepare to move.
Open Mic at The Church House — There is something genuinely electric about an open mic night — the mix of seasoned regulars and first-timers stepping up to the mic for the very first time, all held together by an audience willing them on. The Church House kicks things off at 8:00pm, making it a perfect late addition to your Thursday or a warm-up for the weekend ahead. Check the website for entry details, then show up ready to be surprised — because you almost certainly will be.
