Icons Of Soul Festival — Network Sheffield throws open its doors from 2:00pm for a full-blown celebration of one of music's most enduring and emotionally rich genres. Expect the kind of performances that give you goosebumps and make your feet move before your brain even catches up — this is soul music doing exactly what it was born to do. Tickets from £14–£24, and honestly, that is a small price to pay for an afternoon that could genuinely move you.

SIDNEY CHARLES, LUUK VAN DIJK & more | Groovebox at SteelYard — SteelYard is one of Sheffield's most exciting venues, and this afternoon-into-evening Groovebox session with Sidney Charles and Luuk Van Dijk is the kind of underground house and techno bill that serious clubbers plan their weekends around. Doors from 2:00pm means you can get deep into the groove while the sun is still up — a rare and wonderful thing. Tickets from just £6 make this an absolute no-brainer for dance music devotees.

Old Skool Bingo Sat 26th Sep Sheffield — Do not let the word bingo fool you — Old Skool Bingo at Onyx from 6:00pm is a raucous, brilliantly silly night built around the kind of bangers that soundtracked your most embarrassing but happiest memories. It is interactive, it is loud, and it is the sort of evening that bonds strangers together over shared nostalgia and a healthy competitive streak. At £18, it is brilliant value for what promises to be one of the most entertaining rooms in Sheffield tonight.

SHY FX & more! SHEFFIELD! Sat 26th Sept — A genuine drum and bass legend coming to FORGE — Shy FX is one of those artists whose back catalogue alone could fill an entire night, and watching him perform live is something that hits differently in a club setting. From 9:00pm, this is Sheffield doing what Sheffield does best: proper rave culture with real history behind it. Tickets at £20–£22 are well worth it for a set that will almost certainly be talked about on Monday morning.

Artctic Monkeys vs Oasis Indie Club Night — At 11:00pm, Network Sheffield transforms into a shrine to two of British indie's most beloved acts, and at just £4 it is one of the most joyful bargains in the city tonight. Whether you are firmly in the Definitely Maybe camp or living and breathing Whatever People Say I Am, there is something deeply satisfying about a room full of people screaming lyrics they have known since they were teenagers. Bring your mates, lose your voice, and do not worry about the morning.
