Live Music & Entertainment
Yorkshire has no shortage of places to go for a night out, but finding everything in one place can be surprisingly difficult.
A gig might be listed on a pub Facebook page, a comedy night on a theatre website, an open mic hidden on a community calendar and a small village-hall show almost impossible to find unless you already know about it.

Drum & Bass Events in Leeds & Bradford
Yorkshire’s music scene never stands still, and neither should an events guide. That’s why we’ve added a dedicated Drum & Bass events section to The White Shire, bringing together upcoming D&B, jungle, bass and rave events across Leeds and Bradford.
Rather than producing another one-off list that quickly becomes out of date, our new Drum & Bass guide is regularly updated from a live event feed, making it easier to see what’s coming up across West Yorkshire.
