Your monthly round-up of the best late night and live music offerings in Sheffield.
The Amazons // April 5 // Plug

Tribe of Doris’ World Beats Party // April 7 // Yellow Arch Studios
Bringing beats from around the world, Tribe of Doris gives the UK a taste of cultures from around the world. The tribe was born on the wave of djembe drumming and dance that swept the UK in the late ’80s. Don’t miss your chance to catch Sura Sosso, Mim Suleiman trio and Claudio Kron Do Brazil coming to Sheffield as one this month at Yellow Arch.

The Who // April 10 // Sheffield Arena
The Who’s re-scheduled September gig will finally be arriving at Sheffield Arena this month. The Greatest Hits show will see Roger and Pete play the biggest Who hits as well as some of their lesser known songs. The show will also include a new presentation of Tommy drawn from the Royal Albert Hall shows.

Spectres, Group A & Blood Sport // 20th April // Picture House Social
Following their acclaimed 2015 debut, Dying, Spectres’ latest offering Condition is louder and more abrasive than their debut, but also a real progression. Sounding huge and adding a genuinely innovative and confrontational edge, it was partly inspired by last year’s remix album, Dead, which saw everyone from Factory Floor to Richard Fearless instructed to “kill” the songs from Dying. Spectres will be joined by self-proclaimed aggro-beat band Blood Sport and Japanese avant-garde synth wave duo Group A.

Kovic // April 21 // The Leadmill
After supporting The Hunna on their UK tour, Kovic are ready to branch out on their own debut UK tour. Their latest single ‘Wires’ made it to the Radio 1 airwaves in March this year, and while they are yet to release an album, the indie-rockers’ massive social media following suggests they’ve got a few more tricks up their sleeve.
Tickets available here.
Corella // April 21 // The Rocking Chair
After the social media phenomenon UNILAD endorsed their second single ‘See the Day’, Corella have received support from the likes of BBC Introducing and This Morning. After filling support slots UK wide, the Manchester four-piece bring their unique brand of fresh indie-pop tunes to Sheffield as part of their headline tour.

Caro Emerald // April 22 // Sheffield City Hall
