Concerts Tonight in Leeds

Things to do in Leeds today

For "what's on tonight" the fastest read is the live event listings on this page — they pull current Leeds dates straight from the ticketing feeds and update through the day, so a late drop or a new on-sale shows up before it hits the venues' own pages. Beyond that, the reliable weeknight bets in Leeds are a short list: the Brudenell Social Club in Hyde Park almost always has at least one gig in the back hall, the O2 Academy Leeds runs touring bills five or six nights a week, the Wardrobe and Hyde Park Book Club fill in the indie and jazz weeknights, and the Belgrave Music Hall keeps a steady mix of gigs, DJ nights and pizza-and-rooftop crowds.

For comedy tonight, City Varieties Music Hall on Swan Street is the city's longest-running variety room, the Hyde Park Picture House and Leeds Grand Theatre book touring comedy headliners, and the Comedy Box at Bondi Bar runs weeknight club nights. If you want theatre tonight, Leeds Grand Theatre, the Leeds Playhouse on Quarry Hill and the Carriageworks all run shows most nights through the season.

For a sport night, Leeds United at Elland Road or Leeds Rhinos at Headingley depending on the calendar, with most match-day pubs open from late afternoon. In winter, lean indoor and stick to the city centre — the train station, the arena, the academy and Briggate are all within a fifteen-minute walk.
