The different strokes
Sidney & Matilda
Get ready to travel back to the glorious early 2000s.
The Different Strokes are hitting the stage in Sheffield for a high-octane night of pure New York garage rock revival. We’re talking sharp suits, iconic riffs, and every anthem you’ve been screaming in the shower for the last two decades.
From the jittery precision of Last Nite to the moody swagger of Reptilia, we’re bringing the LES to South Yorkshire. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Is This It era or just looking for the best night out in the city, leave your cool at the door – but keep the attitude.
Expect raw energy, fuzzy guitars, and zero filler. It’s not just a cover band; it’s a time machine.
All ticket sales from this event will be donated to Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
