Fast becoming one of the favourite cities in the UK for music scenes, Sheffield is kicking off 2023 with an incredible line-up of musicians from all over the world. With popular music festival Tramlines returning this summer, the Steel City is also set to host a number of popular gigs and concerts throughout the year.

In January, award-winning singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi will make an appearance at Sheffield Utilita Arena to celebrate the release of his latest album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent for one night. In April, Sam Smith, whose latest song ‘Unholy’ is taking charts by storm will also grace the city with their performance.

The second half of the year is also looking exciting for Sheffield, as it is once again hosting the Tramlines at Hillsborough Park in July. Although the line-ups have yet to be announced, the city’s biggest and longest running music festival has previously welcomed artists like Public Enemy, Sam Fender, Kasabian, and The Cribs.

However, nothing compares to seeing Sheffield’s own musicians, like Arctic Monkeys and Def Leppard, perform at sold-out homecoming shows. The most thrilling months for their fans are likely to be May and June, when Arctic Monkeys and Def Leppard will both perform live at Hillsborough Park and Bramall Lane, respectively.
