After last year’s triumphant sold out return in their home town of Wolverhampton, Sandkings are back to reclaim their crown.

The Artist — Sandkings
Sandkings headlines this Sheffield gig on Friday, 18 September 2026. Listening before the night helps you decide if the bill matches your taste.
Yellow Arch Studios is one of Sheffield's grass-roots venues on GigXchange — the kind of small-capacity room where you can stand close to the band and the bill changes every week. Capacity, age policy and door fee vary per night, so always cross-check with the gig details panel or the venue's own page closer to the date.
Grass-roots gigs in Sheffield are intimate by design: most rooms cap below 200, the band is on stage close to the floor, and the support acts often deserve as much attention as the headliner. Arrive within thirty minutes of doors to catch the openers and pick a sightline you're happy with.
Entry hasn't been published — bring £5–£15 cash to be safe, or check the venue's social channels for advance ticketing.
