Boom Leeds has announced the first shows in its new Canalside location for later this month.
The beloved venue was forced to close its doors at its Millwright Street location, where it had been since 2013, in March after a lengthy battle during and after the pandemic to stay open. Their landlord decided to terminate their lease and turn the building into flats and shops.
At the time of announcing the closure, the venue’s team said it was looking to redevelop the venue in a new location. This was made possible thanks to a string of benefit gigs and a crowdfunding campaign.
Now, Boom has confirmed its new location will open later this month on Armley Road, next door to the 1,000 capacity venue Project House. It has also said that when complete, it will house a live music space, rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, extra event rooms and education and community facilities.
The first show in the new premises will take place on May 21 with Leeds hardcore band Bodyweb (containing members of Higher Power) headlining and support from Long
Goodbye, imissyoualready, Crowquil and Monroe.
