I think Sheffield misses out these days for several reasons. One, our venues aren't really good enough - Leadmill is great but small, O2 horrible and only 2k or so, City Hall is all seating, then it jumps to the arena. Two, I think it's easier for bands to play Leeds and Nottingham for which catchments both include Sheffield.
I think it's a real shame that the old John Lewis isn't being knocked down and a proper purpose built venue constructed, one that could host the snooker better but maybe also cater for bands who need 3-4k capacity. From what I know the council didn't want the building to be listed, but they are now hamstrung by that.

I must have had a rare good experience at the O2 Academy, saw them once there and enjoyed it, sound and atmosphere were decent and they were on good form that night.
I'd head over if they decided to play Corp.

Yeah maybe I've been a bit harsh there. Octagon is ok too, I saw them there in 2007. That was a good night.

I think and FacelessSenseOfVoid here
 have a point though, it does seem to get overlooked at times. I used to head to Sheffield for quite a lot of gigs at one point (mid 2000s), but about a decade after that some friends there said it had dried up a lot. Not just gigs but general things to do as well.Quote:

Interesting... wonder if there'll be other small record stores or if that's a one off.

Got tickets for both Glasgow shows. The second night in Glasgow is myself and my other half's anniversary and it was due to Manics that we met, so it'll be incredibly special. My 10th and 11th shows. Looking forward to them.
