The fate of the Leadmill remains unknown but Sheffield music scenesters will sing back in solidarity at a grassroots festival this bank holiday weekend.

Get Together has six stages over the University of Sheffield’s campus

After a huge success last Summer, Get Together is back this Sunday 1 for the May bank holiday.

Kieran Crosby, 33, who promotes and organises the festival said: “There truly is something for everyone.

“I urge anyone to come down and take a look at the musical magic.

“We have a free entry section ‘under the bridge’ for anyone who wants some part of the action.

“Our ethos is good vibes only.”

Doors open at midday and live music is on until 11pm.

With a free after party at Sydney and Matilda for wristband-holders, festival-goers can keep going until 4am.

Get Together is spread out across six University of Sheffield venues.

Grassroots indie artists such as Squid, Wax Works and Oh Papa are just three of the 38 acts on the line-up.

The promoter added it’s a steppingstone for lesser-known bands to gain fans and get booked for bigger festivals.

Accompanying the music madness, an artist will draw a live mural under the bridge and punters can grab a pint at the Student Union’s Beer Festival.

Revellers won’t go hungry as  Icarus and Apollo world food, Nether Edge pizza company and Shoot the Bull will be serving up a storm.

There will also be plenty of bars for partiers to cause some bank holiday mayhem.

Mr Crosby added: “We have a cross-section of quality music for music lovers of all ages.

“My favourite part is the unplanned, unpredictable things that happen.

“Last year the band, Dream Wife, brought their gran on stage to sing a song.”

Despite the precarity of the Leadmill’s future, the music promoter is optimistic that the scene will continue to thrive.

He said: “In the last few years we have gone from nothing to so much happening musically in the city.

“I’m excited about how the new ecosystem is growing and we are progressing in the right direction.”

The Blinders an indie-rock band, are getting ready to return to perform at the festival.

With Doncaster roots, the band are now based in Manchester but don’t define themselves geographically.

With so many memories of the bedrock of Sheffield’s sound, Thomas Haywood, the band’s frontman, is unsure what the future holds.

“It is the cornerstone of Sheffield music, but as a scene we are resilient. I am sure we will adapt,” explains the artist.

The band’s frontman said metropolitan festivals such as Get Together give grassroots band the chance to connect with fans.

He said: “all of the Donny lot will be there, including my mum, Jane, who will be cheering from the crowd.

“Sheffield shows are usually rowdy, hopefully people won’t have forgotten about us!”

“We go to every show with the same mentality but we love metropolitan festivals like Get Together  because most people there are real music fans,” explains Tom.
