Covert Soundsystem/Plug

Since reopening in the former .Zero confinements in 2005, Plug has offered Sheffield and the North of England a top class live music and club venue. There have been magnificent live performances; the vitriolic Prodigy show that sold out in three hours in May, the effusive Patti Smith delivering her coarse poetry, and putting on Lily Allen's first ever Sheffield show. All acts have benefited form that rare combination of grandiosity and intimacy that has defined Plug, making it an arena which delivers the wide ranging impact that marks out the best live performances without ever over-awing the crowds.
