Artist: IDLES
Support: The Big Moon
Venue: Millennium Square, Leeds
Date: 8.7.21 [Cancelled]
With large public gatherings still banned at the time, another gig bit the dust. The knock-on effects of endless cancellations made rescheduling such large scale events an impossibility.

Artist: Dead Naked Hippies
Venue: Music: Leeds – Live in the Square, Millennium Square, Leeds
Date: 3.8.19
A couple of dozen people stand in Millennium Square on a Saturday afternoon. The event seems poorly publicised and sparsely attended. Those of us who made the effort to turn up get to see one of Leeds’ best and edgiest upcoming bands. Dead Naked Hippies attack each and every gig like it matters – and that is why they’ll go on to pack venues to the rafters.

Artist: The Pigeon Detectives
Support: The Twang
Venue: Millennium Square, Leeds
Date: 3.5.08
The evening required a choice between two hometown bands: New indie upstarts The Pigeon Detectives or the ‘last ever’ gig by veterans CUD.
Years later, The Pigeon Detectives still have to live up to their debut album, and CUD have made more comebacks than Rocky Balboa.
