And this week, an announcement has been made about two ‘after parties’ in Sheffield for fans to attend after the gigs in Hillsborough Park.
Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley and Matt Helders will return to the Steel City, where they gigged before hitting the big time, on June 9 and 10. They will perfom to their legion of fans in Hillsborough Park.

The Steel City gigs will be the band’s first live performances in the city since they sold out the Utilita Arena in 2018.
The Leadmill has two street parties planned outside the iconic city centre venue after the Hillsborough Park gigs.
In a Facebook post, The Leadmill said: “Join us straight from both shows for the biggest after parties in Sheffield, where we’ll be shutting down Leadmill Road just for the occasion and hosting the ultimate street party.”
