First up, Scottish indie favourites The Snuts arrive fresh from a rapid rise that has seen them cement their place as one of the UK’s most exciting guitar bands. Known for their sharp songwriting and anthemic hooks, their live shows continue to build momentum with each tour. Later in December, genre-defying instrumental outfit Polyphia bring their MMXXVI tour to Leeds, blending technical precision with boundary-pushing creativity that has redefined modern guitar music.

Into the new year, Black Veil Brides return with their Vindicatour, delivering their trademark mix of theatrical rock, soaring melodies and high-energy performance that has earned them a loyal global following. Rounding out the run, South Arcade arrive in February with Welcome To The Real World, showcasing a fresh, contemporary take on alternative pop-rock that continues to build buzz.

The Snuts, Polyphia, Black Veil Brides and South Arcade will play at O2 Academy Leeds on Wednesday 03 December 2026, Monday 15 December 2026, Sunday 11 January 2027 and Tuesday 10 February 2027.
