We're excited to announce the return of our ever-popular Summer of Live Music sessions. From May until the end of August, visitors can enjoy free live performances every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Firmly established as a fixture in the Yorkshire live music calendar, our summer sessions offer a mix of jazz, blues, swing, soul and rock'n'roll. With a backdrop of restaurants and bars, the Square becomes a lively open-air venue that celebrates the best of local and national talent.
The Summer of Live Music sessions have become a highlight for so many people in Sheffield and beyond. Each year we see visitors enjoying the incredible talent on display, and we're thrilled to be bringing it back for its sixteenth year.
The 2025 sessions start with a Bank Holiday launch weekend featuring Rogue on Saturday 3rd May, performing a varied repertoire of hits from the ages. On the Sunday, visitors can enjoy high-energy favourites Dizzy Club, before Salsa in the Square takes over. The long weekend wraps up on Monday when singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer King Zepha steps on stage.
Following weekends in May will showcase artists including Katie Bosworth, The Jim Burke Band, Nicola Farnon, The Power Trio, Acoustic Angels and many more. The full line-up for May can be found on the events pages.
All performances take place between 2pm and 4.30pm, unless otherwise, with Salsa in the Square running from 5pm.
