The Sherlocks, formed in 2010 in South Yorkshire, have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most dynamic live bands, making them a top choice for festivals, stadiums, and private events alike. From the start, the band showed a rare ability to connect with audiences. They became the first unsigned act since Arctic Monkeys to sell out Sheffield’s iconic Leadmill, a milestone that marked them as rising stars with mass appeal.
Their momentum quickly carried them to major stages, including appearances at the world-famous Reading and Leeds Festival, where they won over huge crowds with their energy and anthemic sound. In 2016, they were handpicked to support indie legends The Libertines, proving their music could hold its own alongside established names.
The release of their debut album Live for the Moment in 2017 cemented their status as one of Britain’s most exciting new bands. Soon after, they joined Liam Gallagher on his European tour and shared stages with Kaiser Chiefs and The Vaccines at Leeds United’s 100-year celebration, a testament to their ability to command both intimate and stadium-sized audiences.
Their second album, Under Your Sky, was released in 2019 and showcased their evolving songwriting and earned them further touring opportunities, including supporting The Kooks. Would I Understand, followed in 2021, reflecting their resilience and growth, while People Like Me and You in 2023 delivered crowd-pleasing anthems built for live performance. With the release of their fifth record, Everything Just Makes Sense in 2025, The Sherlocks continue to prove they are a band with staying power.
Why are The Sherlocks hired to play at such a variety of events? Their track record speaks for itself: they combine festival-ready choruses, arena-level energy, and a proven ability to connect with audiences across generations. Whether supporting global icons or headlining in their own right, they bring a sense of occasion to every show. For event organisers, The Sherlocks guarantee not only professionalism but also an electrifying live experience, making them one of the most in-demand bands in Britain today.
