and live on Freeview channel 276
The concert, dubbed the ‘Judas’ show, will see the Brothers ditch their trademark ukuleles for one night only – and plug in their instruments for a special show as part of the iconic city venue's 40th birthday celebrations.
The show will take place on May 2 and tickets went on sale this morning.

Hide AdA Leadmill spokesman said: “As part of The Leadmill’s 40th Anniversary celebrations, Sheffield’s very own Everly Pregnant Brothers will play a very special ‘Judas’ show, they’ll be going all-electric, no ukes for one night only!
The Everly Pregnant Brothers were formed after a drunken dare by Pete McKee and Richard Bailey in 2009.
The success of the dare prompted the pair to draught in a bunch of disparate chaps who had three things in common, the love of beer, ukuleles and having a laugh.
Frontman Shaun Doane sets the tone and drives proceedings forward with a huge vocal performance and some wicked renditions of music classics. A national treasure in their native Sheffield, the Brothers playful tampering of classic songs has won them friends and fans far and wide.
