From local talent to global stars, Leeds has a rich musical heritage that we can all be proud of. Our city has been the birthplace of iconic bands and artists across every genre, from rock and indie to jazz and classical, putting Leeds on the map as a city with a vibrant, diverse music scene.
Today, we celebrate that legacy and look forward to the future of music in Leeds.
National Album Day is the perfect time to show our support for the incredible artists who bring joy, creativity, and inspiration to our lives.
It’s also an opportunity to recognise and support our local music shops, which play an essential role in connecting fans with the music they love.
These independent shops are more than just places to buy records, they’re community hubs that nurture our local scene, introduce us to new sounds, and keep the spirit of music alive in our neighbourhoods.
Whether you’re revisiting a classic album from a beloved Leeds artist, discovering a new release, or simply popping into a local record store to browse, there are so many ways to get involved today.
Supporting our musicians and music shops not only strengthens our community but also helps keep Leeds’ vibrant music culture alive for generations to come.
On National Album Day lets celebrate our musical roots, support local talent, and champion the businesses that bring music to our ears. 🎶
