Be it the bright lights of the First Direct Bank Arena to the sorely missed annals that was Chunk a few years ago, there have seemingly always been plenty of places for music fans in the city to check out big stadium favourites to low-key gigs, unearthing some of the best the local scene has to offer.
But we have our favourite venues already; what we wanted to know is - what are the favourite local haunts that readers of the Yorkshire Evening Post swear by for the perfect concert setting?
While some answers included ‘The Front Room Arena’ (remind us to review that one soon enough), which is a reasonably priced option depending on what merchandise you plan on buying at said venue, there was a clear favourite amongst the comments on our Facebook page.
Here are the nine venues in Leeds that readers attest are perfect for watching music in.
7. Morley Live CIC
Another suburban powerhouse, Morley CIC Live is punching well above its weight. It’s a community-driven venue that is bringing top-tier live music and a fantastic atmosphere to the heart of the town. | Google Street View
8. Guiseley Theatre
This historic building is more than just a local landmark; it’s a characterful space for live performance. Our readers love it for its unique charm and the way it brings the community together through music. | YPN
9. Yeadon Town Hall
Rounding out our suburban "big hitters," Yeadon Town Hall is a beautiful setting for a concert. Its grand architecture and warm acoustics make it a favourite for those looking for a slightly more "theatrical" live music experience. | Local Library
