Sheffield is getting a brand new warehouse venue, Hangr

A brand new warehouse venue is opening in Sheffield this weekend.

The 4,000 sq ft venue, named Hangr, is launching in the industrial area of Kelham Island on Saturday, June 13, promising to flaunt "out-of-this-world tech, production, and visuals".

The warehouse venue will feature "immersive" LED screens spanning 30 metres overhead, and the "highest spec" Funktion-One Evolution X soundsystem.

The team behind the venue said that they’re doing their part to "try to revitalise Sheffield’s events culture," with plans to "put Sheffield back on the map".

"This journey has been long, testing, but all the while worth it, and now we’ve created a venue for the love of music and Sheffield," they said on Instagram.

Describing Hangr as a "raw industrial space" featuring "modern tech", the team said that they’ve been "in the process of creating a monster" for the past five years.

Hangr is set to open this weekend with an initial event from local promoters Kargo featuring headliner Eats Everything, as well as Ella Knight, Andy Wadlow, and more.

"Whilst clubs and bars are closing daily, we’ve invested our all to give you all a special experience," they added. "We won't let it fade away, that's a promise."

Last year, Sheffield’s oldest music venue The Leadmill lost a lengthy legal battle after being served an eviction notice by its landlords, shuttering for good in the summer after 45 years.

It comes at a turbulent time for UK venues, with a recent study published by TicketSource revealing that 73% of UK venues shutter before they reach the three-year mark.
