The landlord of the building The Leadmill operates from has issued the music venue with an eviction order, forcing them to leave the premises in one years time.

The live music venue has been at its home on Leadmill Road for more than 40 years.

Since 1980, The Leadmill has spent millions of pounds on what was a derelict warehouse, transforming it into one of the UK’s most respected venues, where countless acts from across the globe have performed over the years – including Sheffield’s homegrown Arctic Monkeys.

The venue is appealing for messages of support and best memories spent at The Leadmill as part of a campaign using the hashtag #WeCantLoseLeadmill.

Shortly after the venue posted the message on its social media pages, messages of support started to flood in from entertainment fans and artists around the world.
