The Sweetest Ache and The Sunbathers

The Sweetest Ache and The Sunbathers are playing together at Sidney and Matilda on Saturday 16 January 2027. It's a double bill with both acts on the same ticket, and it's a matinee, which is a bit of a change from the usual evening slot. The music runs from 14:00 to 17:00, so you'll be out by late afternoon rather than midnight.

Both are UK-based, and they're sharing the bill rather than one opening for the other. The Sweetest Ache and The Sunbathers are the two names on the poster, and that's the whole of it — no hidden support acts to keep track of. If you've followed either of them, this is a chance to hear them in the same room on the same day.

Because it's a matinee, the timing works a bit differently than your standard night out. It kicks off at 14:00 and wraps up by 17:00, which means you've still got your whole evening ahead of you once it's over. It's a three-hour window for the two acts to share, so there's plenty of room for each to get through a proper set without rushing.

Tickets are £10, and you can get them through Skiddle. The date is Saturday 16 January, at Sidney and Matilda in Sheffield, from 14:00 to 17:00.
