Gigs: summer shows for wormboys in Leeds

We have several very exciting wormboys shows coming up over the summer, the first two of which have been announced. Both will be in Wharf Chambers, the most excellent venue in the most excellent city of Leeds.


The first of these gigs takes place on Saturday 25th July. I’m actually also co-organising this one, as part of the crowdfunding efforts for Isaac, a Black trans kid whose family are raising money to pay for his healthcare costs.

We’ll be playing alongside three other brilliant West Yorkshire acts. There’s the alt-rock crew Faded Alchemy, who we played alongside for the incredible We Can Kick It football fundraiser at The Attic; Lucas Assagba, a singer-songwriter who pens biting rock tunes which I’m really hyped to hear live; and bughotel, who plays lofi folky indie music which has just got better and better since we last shared a stage a couple of years or so back.

Buy tickets for A Gig for Isaac here.

We’re selling tickets on a sliding scale: £10 standard, with alternative rates for people on low income (£5) and those who can afford to give a bit more (£20). We’ll be charging a bit more on the night, but also no-one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Gig poster, featuring a drawing of a black male torso and swirly patterns pink, blue, and ivory. Text reads as follows. A gig for Isaac: trans youth healthcare fundraiser. Wormboys, Faded Alchemy, Lucas Assagba, Bug hotel. Plus! Vegan bake sale. Saturday 25 July, Wharf Chambers, Leeds. 7:30pm doors. £5 to £10 in advance, £15 on the day. No one turned away for lack of funds.

The second gig will be on Sunday 6th September. I’m very excited that we have been booked for a Youth Anthems show, as this long-running series of family-friendly gigs really is a Leeds institution. I really admire that the organisers create this regular space for people of all ages to watch live music together, and respect their commitment to the idea that all kinds of music are appropriate and relevant for children to enjoy.

For this matinee show, we will be playing alongside indie-punks Gravel, who also feature wormboys drummer Jake on the skins (he’ll be having a busy night!), plus electro-pop artist No Slugs, for that maximum garden vibe.

Buy tickets for the September 2026 edition of Youth Anthems here.

It’s a bargainous fiver for adults, and free for under-18s to attend (when accompanied by an adult). The organisers say over half the tickets have sold already though, so get in there quick if you’re hoping to come!

Like I said, there’s a lot more coming up for wormboys, both over this summer and beyond, so keep an eye out!

Reminder that I am playing Wharf Chambers in Leeds as part of wormboys on Wednesday. We have written a lot of new material recently, and are excited to share it with a live audience. We’ll be supported by Tiger Island and Etheriel, with live visuals from Kit Watson, so it’s going to be a great night.
