Lets Rock Leeds returns, full line up and discounted tickets!

Lets Rock Leeds returns on 17 June with an impressive line up to shake your deely boppers to… 

After a hugely successful couple of years, the Lets Rock team have pulled together an eclectic and exciting line up for the Temple Newsham show. Come with us as we guide you through this year’s line-up… 

Headlining for 2017, The Human League still thrill audiences the world over, with an impressive stage set and an enthusiasm for the songs that belies the fact many are over 30 years old. If anything the girls voices sound better now and you can be sure of a wonderful sing along, hit filled set to close the night 

That said, singing voices are likely to be well stretched already with the appearance of Tony Hadley, the Spandau Ballet frontman will bring his solo set, always packed with those hits such as “True” and “Gold” 

Howard Jones recently celebrated 30 years in the business and has been regularly outputting new work ever since. That said, expect nothing but faithfully reproduced hits such as “New Song”, “Like To Get To Know You Well” and the atmospheric “Hide and Seek” 


Former Haircut 100 leader, Nick Heyward is one of those artists that may well be a surprise package, more hits that you might recall from his Haircut and solo days. Likely hi spots, “Favourite Shirts” and “Nobodys Fool”.. 

Roland Gift had a short but productive career as the focal point of the Fine Young Cannibals. The voice is still as strong and endearingly foghorn-like, “Im Not The Man I Used To Be” will bring you to tears. Possibly. 

Stool Pidgeon – Ha cha cha cha – oh yes, the Kid is back. August Darnell aka Kid Creole and the Coconuts make a long overdue appearance in Yorkshire… I confess to being very excited by this and you will find me down the front with a jug of Mojito…oh Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy….the whole of Lets Rock will be swayin’ I promise you… 

Techno! Techno! Techno! Techno! Technotronic are in town and will get all your 90s ravers up and ‘aving it large. It’s unclear if the current incarnation is still Ya Kid K and MC Eric though they did reform for anniversary show recently… It’s possible Lets Rock don’t know who is turning up as they are the only band without a bio on the website. 

From The Jam, is now Bruce Foxton on bass, still slapping it like he was Down In The City all those years ago.. Rick Buckler left a few years ago however Russell Hastings has proved a very worthy frontman and if you ever had any love for The Jam then there this will be unmissable, a set packed with all those hits you sang along to on Top of The Pops and more.. 

Hue and Cry more than ably fill that mid to late afternoon slot, a time to sit down with your choice from the fab array of food and drink and nod your head appreciatively at classic 80s tracks such Looking For Linda and Labour of Love, we caught the Kane brothers recently and its an impressive set still. 

Hazel O Conner is responsible for one of the most under-rated iconic songs of the 80’s, “Eighth Day” was a smash and an amazing song and the relevance remains today, expect a stomping “Decadence Days” and a soulful rendition of “Will You” 

Imagination or more precisely Leee John, yes three e’s, had a string of hits in the 80’s , Just an Illusion probably the pick and it should be a good excuse to calm down, mellow a little after the madness that is.. 


Dr and The Medics, who said one hit wonder….that’s never let the good Doc get in the way of a rip roaring madcap set. Immerse yourself in the performance which always has more than a hint of manic-ness. 

The same can sometime be said of A Flock Of Seagulls, Mike score to be precise. Sometimes quiet and hiding away behind his synth, other times the chatty front man responsible for one of the biggest 80s hits, Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You) has a decent bag of synthtastic tunes to open up you 2017 Lets Rock Leeds
