BOOM is part of a national initiative launched by the MVT to prevent the permanent closure of music venues most at risk due to the crisis.
Crowdfunding will ensure the BOOM LEEDS music venue will be saved but also help keep our dedicated staff employed. You donation will contribute to ensuring the venue will survive and continue to be a home for grassroots music in Leeds.
WHY ARE WE CROWDFUNDING?
BOOM LEEDS is now on the brink of permanent closure and needs to Crowdfund to survive. In the absence of any income and being unable to open - the venue has accrued substantial debts that will force the venue into permanent closure.
ABOUT BOOM LEEDS

The venue is famous for hosting intense and lively shows from artists like Gallows, slowthai, Code Orange, Agnostic Front, Power Trip, Madball and hundreds more.
