An Afternoon of Rock LEEDS

A rock and metal afternoon at The Backroom in Leeds, built around well-known songs from several decades of hard rock, glam metal, grunge, nu-metal and pop-punk.

An Afternoon of Rock LEEDS is a daytime rock and metal party at The Backroom, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows. The night is pitched at fans who want to sing along to familiar tracks, or who simply want to meet other people who share the same taste in music.

The repertoire draws on the best-known rock, metal and emo acts of the past several decades. Named bands include Guns N'Roses, Nirvana, Linkin'Park, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Green Day, Queen, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Metallica, AC/DC and Red Hot Chili Peppers, alongside many others. The material covers glam metal, grunge, nu-metal and pop-punk, so the mix is broad across eras and styles.

The event is organised as a themed party built around this catalogue of hits, with the emphasis on dancing and singing along rather than on a single headline act. Its title and publicity place it firmly in the afternoon, and it is presented as a meeting point for rock fans as much as a night of music.
