The Leeds band are celebrating their hometown show with a day full of pop-ups, DJs, food collabs and more.
Yard Act are teaming up with The Northern Market this Saturday 3 August on the day of their massive Millennium Square show.
Situated just 100 yards from the concert venue, Yard Act have curated a personalised day of pop-ups, food collabs and more for a celebration of some of their favourite things in the city, all hosted inside the Northern Monk run venue.
Kicking off from 1pm until the show’s doors open at 6pm, the inside of Northern Market’s popular food & drink hall will be transformed into a vision of Yard Act’s own Leeds.
Expect a tap takeover by Armley’s Anthology Brewing Company, a special pop-up by Jumbo Records and a carefully curated line-up of the city’s best DJs including Emily Pilbeam, Thea HD, DJ Lozzatron, Hoppo and fast-rising Leeds musician and star of the band’s music videos Hang Linton.
Northern Market’s four in-house food traders will each be collaborating with one of the city’s best-loved restaurants for a one-off menu item.
Joining the Northern Market regulars of Falafel Guys, Big Buns, Six Slice and Bastards Bistro is Manjit’s Kitchen, Burley institution Ryan’s Kitchen, the much-loved Homeboy Pizza Co. and wood-fired kitchen Galleria.
To celebrate, Northern Market will be offering 20% off drinks to those who show their Millennium Square gig ticket at the bar.
James Smith, Yard Act said: “Hello all you Northern hunks… If you’re headed to Millennium Sq next weekend and are wondering how best to get warmed up before doors, may we suggest heading down to the Northern Market Hall for food and drinks curated by some of our favourite local breweries and kitchens. From Ryan’s banging Caribbean food to certified Yard Act super fan Manjit of Manjit’s kitchen – famous for their Va-Va-Va Vada Pav (sung to the tune of Land of the Blind) they’ll all be collaborating on some cutting edge, groundbreaking world fusion cooking.
“There will also be a Jumbo records pop up and a silent trench coat auction for charity (featuring custom designed pieces by Yard Act, David Thewlis and Paul Simonon of The Clash). The beer will be provided by Liam of Anthology brewery, who has been our pal and master brewer since day one and there will be DJ sets from some of our favourite local selectors.”
