This can’t happen! @leadmill was my favourite venue and club when I lived at home. #WeCantLoseLeadmill
It was a year ago today that the Leadmill revealed they would be forced to close in a years time, i.e. around about now! There hasn’t been an official update in months, I’m assuming today isn’t the last day for this Sheffield institution?! 😬🤞 #WeCantLoseLeadmill

I live in Nashville & my home has three The Leadmill related things. There’s a reason it survived the pandemic when others didn’t.
You can’t operate a ‘special venue’ based on money grabbing.
Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

From Gomez to The Strokes, White Stripes to Coldplay (before they were famous 🙄) the Leadmill has given us nights to remember, shaped us and our city. #WeCantLoseLeadmill
Played the Leadmill three times with Lush. So sad to hear of yet another much-loved public space - and such a historically important venue - being threatened with closure

Despite the call to chuck pints of beer at me, this ends up being a good review!
And the landlords wanna turn The Leadmill into a venue for Yuppies when they don't know how to work a TV remote

I’ll be making a statement regarding The Leadmill shortly. For avoidance of doubt, we are music people, we spend our lives running independent music venues and the Leadmill will continue to operate as a special music venue. The management may change but the song stays the same.
Shows just how important Leadmill is for bringing through the next generation of bands, Sheffield based or not

Wow The Leadmill this blew me away. Brilliant night at richardhawley residency, beautiful support set by Ed Cosens with a breathtaking surprise of Jarvis Cocker!! We simply cannot lose this place #wecantloseleadmill
If The Leadmill ends up shutting down, a part of me will go aswell, I cannot live without sonic Saturdays❤️❤️❤️ #wecantloseleadmill
The Leadmill Dominic Madden Youth Sector The perfect sized venue for many bands & the other room is great for a band with a smaller crowd, sound is great, friendly staff, decent bar with fair prices. The tweaks The Leadmill have made over the last 20+ years keep me happily returning whenever I can. #WeCantLoseLeadmill
As it’s feared the future of grass roots music in South Yorkshire could be at risk we have been exclusively speaking to Sheffield band Little Man Tate after The Leadmill issued a statement last week saying they are being evicted, forcing the business to close:
Jon and Ben discussing why #wecantloseleadmill We can’t lose this iconic venue. It means so much to so many people.
