Every Friday and Saturday night at BOX’s Leeds and Sheffield sites, grab your favourite drink and head to the dance floor as BOX's live bands take to the stage.
But if dancing isn't enough for you and you want to get up there on the stage yourself, then head to BOX on a Thursday at 9pm for their famous Bandeoke.
What is Bandeoke you may ask? It's basically karaoke but instead of a backing track, you'll have a live band playing behind you to really make you feel like the star you truly are.
And it doesn’t stop there, as you can also have a play yourself with Electric Darts so you can unleash your competitive spirit.
