47 brilliant gigs and concerts coming to Sheffield's most beloved smaller venues this year

Well, I hate to be the one to admit it, but the 2025 summer holidays are coming to an end, and with it, pretty much the end of the UK summer festival season - sans some thankfully latecomers to the festival calendar.

So now what? What is there to satisfy the appetite of those who spent a lot of money heading to one of the many huge gigs around the country earlier this year, but are counting the coins in the lead up to Christmas and have decided that, perhaps, the prices of going to the numerous huge shows at the Utilita Arena might not be cost-effective.

Or, even simpler, you’re not a fan of ‘arena’ rock - or Katy Perry.

So instead, why don’t we take a look at some of the shows that are taking place across some of Sheffield’s favourite haunts before the year comes to an end instead? Places such as Foundry, the Octagon, Corporation, Yellow Arch Studios, Network and more to bring you 47 ‘alternative’ concerts still to come to the city that don’t involve having to head to the Utilita Arena?

Many of the shows in question still have tickets - so if any whet your tastes, you can head over to Ticketmaster for more information and, of course, make that essential purchase.

Here are the shows that caught our eye, still to come to Sheffield, before the end of 2025.
