Admittedly, though, for a while there, it felt like the ‘Leeds skip’ had become a standard tour requirement, with the city’s music fans often left staring at a Manchester or Halifax-shaped hole in their favourite artists' schedules.
But looking ahead to the concerts coming to the city in March, we’re in for an incredibly eclectic mixture of talent over the next few weeks.
The spoils are ours, as they say.
From arena-filling icons to the gritty, intimate showcases that define the city's DIY spirit, Leeds is reclaiming its spot on the map with a bumper schedule that leaves no genre behind - and with tickets still available from Ticketmaster, See Tickets or from the likes of Jumbo Records and Crash Records, you might be finding yourself out and about a few times in just one week.
Here are our picks of 45 concerts not worth getting a case of FOMO over across March 2026.
43. Takuya Nakamura (March 27)
Experimental multi-instrumentalist Takuya Nakamura brings his Pleasure Seekers tour to The Wardrobe. Fusing his background as a jazz trumpeter (working with the likes of Quincy Jones) with high-speed electronic genres like jungle and footwork, his live set is a propulsive, genre-defying masterclass in rhythm. 🎶 Wardrobe, 6 St Peter's Square, Leeds LS9 8AH | Atsuko Tanaka/Getty Images

44. Split Dogs (March 27)
If you are looking for pure, unadulterated energy, Split Dogs at Hyde Park Book Club is the place to be. This Bristol-based four-piece is currently tearing up the UK scene with their raucous, high-speed punk rock and a stage presence that is as chaotic as it is infectious. 🎶 Hyde Park Book Club, 27-29 Headingley Ln., Headingley, Leeds LS6 1BL | Provided
45. Mobb Deep (March 30)
Queensbridge legend Havoc brings the iconic sound of Mobb Deep to Project House to celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest duos in hip-hop history. The night will be a heavy trip through the dark, gritty anthems of The Infamous and Hell on Earth. 🎶 Project House, Armley Rd, Leeds LS12 2DR | Getty Images for BET
