On Saturday 23 January 2027, you can see five-piece alt-rock, indie band Rosadocs play O2 Academy Sheffield as part of a very special launch night that will celebrate Yorkshire talent.

Fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting live acts, this summer they have bulldozed the festival scene with their heartfelt lyricism, powerful guitar-driven melodies and arena-ready choruses at Y Not Festival, Truck Festival, Kendal Calling, and a main stage slot at Tramlines. The band have risen through the ranks with their debut performance at O2 Academy Sheffield a decade ago in 2017 supporting The Sherlocks.

“Since we were kids, picking up our instruments and living in the areas around Sheffield we’d always wanted to play O2 Academy Sheffield,” said frontman Keelan Graney, Rosadocs.

“We have been lucky enough to support some amazing bands there and this feels like such a special full circle moment to not only be returning to headline, but to be reopening this iconic venue that means so much to us. We are certainly going to make this a night to remember.”

2026 has been a breakthrough year for Rosadocs as they began building towards their debut album joining Tri-Tone who have worked with an impressive roster of British and international artists over the years, including The Coral, The Lathums, Jamie Webster, Red Rum Club and Badly Drawn Boy. Their upcoming autumn run sees the band take in an impressive list of venue across the UK and play two SOLD OUT nights at Sheffield’s Crookes Social Club next month.

A host of friends are joining them for this huge O2 Academy Sheffield takeover in January including Crystal Tides, The Slates, Spanish Horses, Harriet Rose and Sonni Mills.

This announcement of South Yorkshire talent taking to the stage as part of the reopening programme continues O2 Academy Sheffield’s highly anticipated return to the city’s live circuit. Since first opening in 1968 as the infamous Top Rank Suite, the venue has hosted some iconic and now legendary gigs and remained a cornerstone of Sheffield’s thriving live music scene. This new wave of talent playing as part of the launch night will help write the next chapter in the O2 Academy Sheffield story.
