THE BACKROOM
A brand new and dedicated live music space designed to bring grassroots musicians and live bands back into the heart of Wakefield City Centre.
The Hop became a well-known fixture on Wakefield’s music scene, with its stages playing host to acts including Metronomy, Pulled Apart by Horses, Embrace and John Cooper Clarke, alongside comedians and other performers. Now, with The Backroom, the team is looking to bring that musical spirit back to the venue while putting a renewed emphasis on the grassroots scene.
