Expect Instant Pleasures when Shed Seven hit Sheffield

Yorkshire favourites Shed Seven are back with a new album and tour.

One of the great survivors of Britpop are enjoying a triumphant return with a new album '“ their first in 16 years '“ and a host of sell-out gigs.

Shed Seven’s biennial Shedcember Christmas tours have become an institution at Sheffield’s O2 Academy – and this year’s promises to be extra special on the back of the release of Instant Pleasures.

Indeed, the Yorkshire favourites’ first show, on Saturday, December 9, – like many others in the band’s Christmas tour – sold out within days, leading to the Sheds adding a second show on Tuesday, November 28.

Rick Witter, frontman of the York band, says: “For the past 10 years we’ve been touring every other year at Christmas time – they come around quite quickly – so this is the 10th anniversary of us reforming and playing our back catalogue in a nostalgic way.

“It just seems to grow every time, and this year has changed with the new album. We’ve had to add extra dates and play bigger venues.”
