We'll cheers to that.

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall - 26th August 2026

Leeds United fans looking for a crisp pre-match pint, you're in luck.

Why? Because new data has revealed Leeds United as one of the Premier League clubs offering the cheapest pints.

It's al down to credit card provider Zable who analysed the average price of a pint at pubs near every Premier League stadium, revealing which fanbases pay the most, and least, for their pre-match drink.

You'll be glad to know that Leeds United ranked a very respectable fifth among the Premier League teams with the cheapest pre-match pints, with fans paying an average of £4.74 at pubs near the Elland Road Stadium.

However, if fans are looking to grab a drink inside the stadium, they face a higher price tag, with a pint costing £5.60, a difference of over 18%.

Newly promoted Coventry supporters are getting the best deal in the league with the average pint nearby to the stadium costing £4.16, whilst Sunderland came in second please (£4.41), followed by Hull City (£4.70).

The top 10 most expensive pre-game pint prices at nearby stadium pubs:

  1. Coventry (£4.16)
  2. Sunderland (£4.41)
  3. Hull City (£4.70)
  4. Bournemouth (£4.72)
  5. Leeds United (£4.74)
  6. Liverpool (£4.95)
  7. Newcastle United (£5.07)
  8. Manchester United (£5.18)
  9. Ipswich Town (£5.27)
  10. Nottingham Forest (£5.34)

Adam McAllister at Zable says: "For many fans, grabbing a pint before kick-off is part and parcel of the matchday experience, but our research shows that where you choose to drink can make a noticeable difference to the price. While stadium pints are often assumed to be more expensive, that's not always the case.

"With the cost of attending football continuing to add up, from tickets and travel to food and drinks, small differences like these can make a real impact on the overall cost of a matchday. Taking a little time to compare prices before heading to the stadium this season could help fans make their money go further, whether they choose to have a pint at the pub or inside the ground."

‘End of an era’ as beloved Leeds bar announces move after 15 years

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

One of Leeds' most loved late-night bars has announced it will be moving on from its current location after more than a decade.

Known for its eclectic party atmosphere, fabulous cocktails and fun DJs, Wax has long been a go-to spot for Leeds night owls looking for a big night.

The New Briggate bar has built up a loyal following over the years, becoming something of an institution on the city’s nightlife scene.

And now, Wax has announced that it will be moving location, bringing an end to an era at its current home at the top of town.

Taking to Instagram, Wax shared the news with its loyal customers, stating: “Wax is moving!!!

"Thats right folks, our time on New Briggate is coming to an end. For 15 years many a drink we have drunk, many a dance we have shared, many a hangover we have nursed.... so let’s keep that going in our new home.

"Don't worry you can get your OG Wax fix for the next few months. More info announced soon. See you around. X"

Of course, in classic Leeds fashion, customers flocked to the comments to express their support.

One person said: "So many memories, will forever have a very special place in my heart" whilst another expressed that "Change is good! Long live Wax Bar."

We'll keep you updated with where Wax is moving to as and when we find out, but we're sure its loyal fans will follow them wherever they go.

For now, it’s business as usual at New Briggate - so if you’ve got memories to make (or simply want one last night in the OG Wax), you’ve still got a few months to do so.

Major Leeds Festival artist cancels string of dates after losing voice

Rising rock star Violet Grohl has addressed fans after cancelling a series of sold-out gigs just hours before fans entered the venue.

The singer (who, yes, is the daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl) had been set to perform to a packed-out crowd at Band On The Wall in Manchester last night.

But just hours before doors opened, Violet announced that the show would be postponed, along with tonight’s show in Glasgow.

She said in a statement that she was ‘really f**king bummed’ to be cancelling the shows.

Violet told fans that the gigs had to be cancelled because she ‘doesn’t have a voice right now’.

She is due to perform on The Canopy stage at Leeds Festival this Friday, and its sister site Reading Festival on Sunday.

The star added ‘it pains me to make this decision’ as she officially postponed her Manchester show.

Those who had tickets will receive updated information soon, with the plan to reschedule them.

She wrote: “hey everyone. really f**king bummed to have to let yall know i’m canceling tonight and tomorrow’s shows in Manchester and Glasgow.

“i don’t have a voice right now and it pains me to make this decision, but i just can’t perform.

“we’re rescheduling these shows and everyone who bought a ticket will receive the updated info. looking forward to seeing you soon xx i’ll be back!!!”

Violet Grohl released her debut album, Be Sweet To Me, back in May, produced at the home of acclaimed producer Justin Raisen.

Her music takes influence from late 80s and early 90s rock, including Pixies, Soundgarden, Bjork, PJ Harvey, and more.

When she announced her UK tour dates, demand was so overwhelming her Manchester show was upgraded from The Deaf Institute to Band On The Wall.
