Listing notesDon Valley Bowl is a council-owned open-air amphitheatre in Attercliffe, Sheffield, part of the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park on the site of the old Don Valley Stadium. For most of the year it is a free public green space with a synthetic cricket pitch, but each summer it becomes one of the city's biggest outdoor live-music sites: the 2026 season alone brought the two-day 90s Fest and Summerbowl in July, Rock N Roll Circus with The Kooks and Miles Kane, The Streets with Babyshambles, and Richard Ashcroft with The Fratellis, Embrace and Cast across late August and early September. It's a promoter-led festival bowl rather than a club - production is brought in per event - and bookings go through Sheffield City Council's events team.
