BOUNDED FESTIVAL SET TO TRANSFORM SHEFFIELD’S STEELYARD THIS MAY

3 days ago

Spring will see the launch of an entirely new festival taking place in Sheffield. Bounded Festival is set to take place on Sunday 4th May on bank holiday weekend at Kelham Island’s Steelyard.

Steelyard is Sheffield’s largest outdoor event space, created from old shipping containers. Think of the Shipping Yard stage at Teletech Festival, only on a much bigger scale. One thing Steelyard offers is versatility; not only is it an events space, it is also a vibrant retail hub, bringing together a mix of independent businesses in a unique environment such as a bistro, yoga studio and tattoo studio.

Bounded Festival will be home to multiple stages and subgenres of dance music, with the main stage hosted by Tribal Warehouse playing house music, and other stages for speed garage and drum & bass for example. The lineup is not out yet but this will be launching very soon, you can keep up to date with news on this via the Bounded Festival Instagram page.

The festival will be a day event, from 2pm until 11pm and will see over 45+ DJs take to the decks, alongside an array of entertainment and street food vendors. With over a 2,500-person capacity, Bounded hope to fill the space with ravers to dance all day long and celebrate local talent and beyond.

Tickets are available to purchase now, with over 400 sold since they went on sale on Wednesday, limited £5 presale tickets remain, get yours here.

LATEST FEATURES

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".
