Sheffield’s new, favourite festival Get Together is returning to the Steel City later this month. It’s third iteration, the festival departs it’s previous home at the University of Sheffield’s Students Union, and has relocated to Kelham Island, meaning a totally new stage set-up for the festival. So, we’ve broken down who is playing at what stage and where, as well as who we recommend seeing on each stage!
Get Together Stage
Where?:
At Peddler Warehouse, where Sheffield’s beloved Peddler Market takes place.
Who’s playing?:
Friendly Fires – 9:15pm
CMAT – 7:30pm
Hamish Hawk – 5:45pm
James Righton – 4:30pm
H. Hawkline – 2:00pm
Mickey Callisto – 1:00pm
Our Recommendation:
As the ‘main stage’ of the festival, even just sticking around here all day would be a good idea. However, if we had to narrow it down, we would definitely recommend seeing Hamish Hawk. The Edinburgh-based artist is coming straight off the back of the release of his second album Angel Numbers, and he is definitely one of the most talented individuals in the current British indie scene. Boasting an incredible voice, Hawk is very reminiscent of acts like Neil Hannon and Sheffield’s very own Jarvis Cocker.
The Purity Stage
Where?:
At Yellow Arch Studios.
Who’s Playing?:
Panic Shack – 9:30pm
Do Nothing – 8:00pm
The Goa Express – 6:45pm
Keg – 5:30pm
Melin Melyn – 4:00pm
Butch Kassidy – 2:45pm
MF Tomlinson – 1:30pm
Our Recommendation:
Nottingham-based Do Nothing are one of the best new bands in the British post-punk band, and they are certainly only going to get bigger. With their debut album out 30th June, you should definitely go see them if you can. Having recently played an incredible, sold-out show at Sidney&Matilda, hosted by the Music Culture Society, to have them again in Sheffield so soon will make for an incredibly experience.
The Antiques Emporium
Where?:
At Yellow Arch Studios.
Who’s Playing?:
Coach Party – 9:45pm
Prima Queen – 8:30pm
Fat Dog – 7:15pm
Heartworms – 6:00pm
Tapir! – 4:45pm
The Joy Hotel – 3:30pm
Porchlight – 2:15pm
Our Recommendation:
Isle of Wight-based Coach Party will definitely bring a fun, quirky, punk vibe to the festival. Combining indie pop with raucous punk, the band are continually demonstrating themselves to be one of the best up-and-coming acts in the country, and definitely should not be missed.
The Heist Stage
Where?:
At Heist Brewery, up the road from Cutlery Works.
Who’s Playing?:
O. – 9:15pm
Hallan – 8:00pm
Divorce – 6:45pm
Pushpin – 5:30pm
Luxury Goods – 4:30pm
Trout – 3:30pm
Our Recommendation:
Sheffield-based band Luxury Goods will be offering an anthemic alt-pop performance at the festival. Having recently played Tramlines in 2022, the band have clearly proven their festival-mettle, and I am really looking forward to their performance.
Let’s Play Darts Stage
Where?:
At Neepsend Social Club.
Who’s Playing?:
Pale Blue eyes – 9:45pm
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – 8:30pm
Soup! – 7:30pm
Seraphina Simone – 6:30pm
Preen – 5:30pm
Drastic//Automatic – 4:30pm
Cathy Jain – 3:30pm
Our Recommendation:
Local favourites Drastic//Automatic are one of the best, and easily the most unique, bands coming out of Sheffield at the moment. Their intense, hardcore sound makes for one of the best live experiences you will get in Sheffield, and their recent gigs at Sidney&Matilda have definitely been some of, if not the most fun I have had at live shows. Honestly, if you could only see one artist at Get Together, I implore you to see Drastic//Automatic. I can assure you it will be one of the best performances you will have seen.
Sly Dog Stage
Where?:
At the Alder Bar.
Who’s Playing?:
Eyes of Others – 10:30pm
Sister Wives – 9:30pm
Strabe – 8:30pm
Spielmann – 7:30pm
Revival Season – 6:30pm
Kai Bosch – 5:30pm
Ziyad Al-Samman – 4:30pm
The Underground Sound Society – 3:30pm
Our Recommendation:
Sister Wives are one of the more unique bands currently operating in Sheffield; combining post-punk, psychedelica and British folk, along with the Welsh language, to create some of the best and most interesting music we’ve heard recently. The manage to create this mythological, almost Arthurian punk sound. Having seen the band at the Float Along Festival, they are definitely one of the most talented bands I have ever seen live, and they will definitely be a highlight of the festival.
As well as all this live music, Get Together 2023 will also see a selection of Smooth Booth DJs on in Church from 9pm, as well as a BBQ party at Piña. Each venue will also see different breweries take over the taps, including the likes of Purity, Stone, Three Legs, Deya, and Verdant.
Festival-goers at Get Together will be able to collect their wristbands from Peddler Warehouse from 1pm, and from there you will be able to move freely between each venue.
There are still some secret sets yet to be announced, including some pop-up performances at the Spinning Discs shop at Grafters, with Get Together set to reveal more information about these performances soon.
You can find tickets for the festival here, and more information about the festival can be found on the Get Together Instagram.
