The city has played host to its fair share of iconic gigs over the years, from The Who’s live show at Leeds University in 1970 to the mammoth concerts at Roundhay Park from the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen.
Leeds remains an essential stop-off for touring acts both upcoming and established and is known for its feverish crowds and terrific venues.
We asked our readers what their favourite venues in the city were and have collected their answers in the gallery below:
7. Roundhay Park
Roundhay Park, which has hosted some of the largest gigs to ever take place in Leeds, was also a popular pick among readers who will have found memories of performances from Robbie Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Genesis and the Rolling Stones. Photo: Steve Riding
8. Belgrave Music Hall
Another great spot to catch acts both new and old and a personal favourite of mine, the Belgrave Music Hall is a wonderful, intimate space that has built up a formidable reputation in the 10 years since it opened. Photo: National World
9. Oporto
One of the smaller venues to be picked out by readers, Oporto on Call Lane is a great spot to go and get a glimpse of some of the best grassroots music around. Photo: Steve Riding
10. O2 Academy
Finally we turn to the O2 Academy, which was highlighted for its "intimacy" by one of our readers and is another spot to be able to boast hosting some of the best acts around over the years. Photo: National World
