Cult singer-songwriter announces two nights at legendary Sheffield music venue
Dates announced for the end of the year
One of Sheffield’s biggest musical cult heroes has announced two nights at one of the city’s most legendary venues.
Richard Hawley will play two nights at Sheffield City Hall, with the performances described as homecoming shows, shortly before Christmas, on December 17 and December 18.
An announcement of the show states that some of the songs that he will perform may never have been played live before, but there will also be a selection of firm fan favourites.
It stated: “This will be a very different experience from Richard’s hugely successful Coles Corner tour in 2025, which celebrated the album’s 20th anniversary.
“Richard’s love of Sheffield runs through everything he does. His hometown has always been central to his writing, so returning to Sheffield City Hall is naturally high on his list of shows to play.”
Richard has worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Pulp,, as well as Arctic Monkeys, Paul Weller, Nancy Sinatra, Elbow, and Tom Jones. He has also received Olivier Awards for the acclaimed West End musical Standing at the Sky’s Edge.
The latest shows will also celebrate the release of Richard’s new live album, Live at Sheffield City Hall 2025.
City Hall has staged shows by some of the best known stars in history, including The Beatles and Bob Dylan.
