What's On in Sheffield
Friday 07 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Sheffield is turning up the volume this Friday, with two very different but equally irresistible evenings on offer across the city. Whether you are chasing raw guitar energy in an intimate venue or belting out Waterloo with a room full of fellow ABBA devotees, the Steel City has absolutely got you covered tonight. Get your plans locked in — this one is a proper Friday to remember.
Highlights
Revert - Sheffield — Sidney And Matilda is one of Sheffield's most beloved small venues, and this Friday it plays host to Revert for a live music night that promises exactly the kind of up-close, electric atmosphere that reminds you why live music matters. Doors open at 7:00pm and at just £10 it is one of the best-value ways to spend a Friday evening in the city — the kind of gig where you discover something new and leave genuinely buzzing.
Mamma Mia Abba Tribute — Head to the OEC at 7:00pm for a full-on, sequin-drenched celebration of the greatest pop catalogue ever assembled, performed by a dedicated ABBA tribute act with all the theatrical flair the songs deserve. This is the sort of night where strangers become friends somewhere around Dancing Queen, and nobody — absolutely nobody — can keep themselves from singing along. At £36, it is a proper night out with guaranteed joy baked right in.
