Last month, the iconic venue was denied an appeal against their eviction notice from Electric Group and given three months to vacate the premises on Leadmill Street. Their final event will be held on Saturday, June 28.

Hawley, a Sheffield native with close ties to the venue, will play there for the last time on June 18. “One final time with the man who has played here more than anyone else,” the venue said in the announcement, describing him as a “Sheffield icon and Leadmill family member”.

Tickets for the show, which will feature support from Tom Hickox, will go on sale on Monday (June 9) at 10am and you will be able to find yours here.
