Hey Scenesters - The Cribs are set to perform one of their biggest shows to date in Leeds in 2026!
- The Cribs have announced a huge Leeds show taking place in July 2026.
- The trio are set to perform at Millennium Square, only months after completing their March 2026 tour.
- Here’s everything you need to know about the new concert, and details on where the band are performing beforehand.
Considered one of Wakefield’s finest, The Cribs have added a huge West Yorkshire date to complement their UK tour taking place through March.
The band, known for classics such as ‘Hey Scenesters’ and ‘Man’s Needs,’ have announced that they will be taking over Millennium Square on July 11 in what is set to be one of their biggest outdoor shows to date. The date comes only days after the announcement that Wet Leg will also be performing at the Leeds location in the new year.
The show comes a decade after the band last performed at Millennium Square, when they were memorably joined by Sonic Youth musician Thurston Moore during their set, adding to the illustriousness of a band who can also count Johnny Marr as a previous contributor.
Ahead of that show and their March UK tour, the group have also released a new single from their forthcoming album, Selling A Vibe, in the form of ‘A Point Too Hard To Make,' with the track pairing chiming guitars with the classically Cribs call-and-response dual vocal approach.
Bassist and vocalist Gary Jarman commented on the new single and subsequent video: “All that 2000s damage, basically. Small-town romantics - years spent longing for connection, escape, excitement - given in abundance, for an entire decade. What do you do when the party is over? Where does it leave you?
“We will let you know if/when we get there. We’ve still got each other, though. That’s what this one is about, a bit of a kitchen-sinker, really."
