About this venue

Canalside Community Music Space sits by the canal on the edge of Leeds city centre, in a transformed disused industrial site. Run as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, the space is home to Boom Leeds, a grassroots music venue, alongside rehearsal rooms and a recording studio.

Canalside was built by the team behind the original Boom Leeds after their previous home on Millwright Street closed: the last night there was 30 March 2025, and Canalside opened on 21 May 2025. The venue offers two flexible event spaces, a 200-capacity main room and a 400-capacity upstairs room, plus an outdoor area, hosting live music, club nights, workshops, markets and private hires. Every penny made goes back into the space, supporting emerging artists, low-cost workshops and fair artist pay.
