Sheffield’s finest ‘Self Esteem’, AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor, has been confirmed as the latest headliner for Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus, coming to Don Valley Bowl on Saturday 2nd September.

This announcement comes on the back of two consecutive sell-out shows for Self Esteem at O2 Academy Sheffield, giving music fans in Sheff another chance to see one the UK’s most acclaimed new artists.

With more acts to be announced, the line-up – which is being curated by Rebecca herself featuring artists close to her heart – is an all-star diverse line-up that will see Australian indie electro pop band Confidence Man, Drag Race UK break-out star Bimini and the legendary Yorkshire Arctic Monkeys tribute, Arctic Numpties, all join the party.

Speaking ahead of the Rock N Roll Circus Sheffield show, Self Esteem said today: “SHEFFIELD. I just had to come back one more time before I fully commit to writing again.

“I’ve also curated my actual dream line up to join me. I am genuinely deeply excited. – Don Valley Bowl, Sept 2nd – I promise you this is NOT to be missed!”

Following the news that Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will open the new circus themed spectacular at Don Valley Bowl, Self Esteem will now also headline the event on the back of a whirlwind rise to fame.
