PETROL GIRLS / Yakkie / Sunliner

Petrol Girls are playing Boom on Friday 13 November, with Yakkie and Sunliner on the bill. It's a triple bill of punk and hardcore, and the whole thing kicks off at 19:00.

If you're not familiar with the venue, Boom is a grassroots space in Leeds devoted to punk, hardcore and metal, run mostly by volunteers. For more than ten years it occupied Byron Street Mills on Millwright Street, where it grew from practice rooms into a multi-stage venue, before the landlord ended the lease and it closed there at the end of March 2025. After six months of fundraising and volunteer work, it reopened in May 2025 at Canalside Community Music Space on Armley Road, in Canalside's own 200-capacity venue room with a bar. Canalside is a not-for-profit community interest company whose building also houses rehearsal rooms and a recording studio.

Petrol Girls take the headline spot, with Yakkie and Sunliner filling out the rest of the night. Sunliner is a Leeds act, gruff and catchy indie-punk that they describe as high-octane melodies and massive choruses. It's a local name on a bill that fits right in with the venue's focus on the heavier, faster end of things.

So, Petrol Girls, Yakkie and Sunliner at Boom, Canalside Community Music Space, Armley Road, Leeds, on Friday 13 November from 19:00.
