Since 1980, The Leadmill has transformed what was once a derelict warehouse into one of the UK’s most respected venues, where countless acts from across the globe have performed over the years. NME readers have regularly voted it as their favourite venue and in 2015 it received a Music Heritage Award by PRS for Music. Our photo gallery takes you back to the days of low rise, boot-cut jeans, gelled hair and cheap booze in the noughties. Who can you recognise?
