Great gig
We really enjoyed the support band, Casino. Great upbeat songs and excellent musicians. The lightening seeds covered a huge selection of their hits and some new really good songs. It was a fun evening with lots of singing and dancing from the audience. The Octagon in Sheffield is a great venue. Spacious auditorium. The bar was reasonably priced. Great that’s there’s also an outdoor area.

The Lightning Seeds are a British pop rock band formed in 1989 by Ian Broudie, a talented producer and songwriter. Known for their catchy melodies, upbeat sound, and bittersweet lyrics, The Lightning Seeds became a staple in the 90s music scene with their unique blend of indie rock, pop, and alternative influences. Their music often combines melodic hooks with a sense of nostalgia, capturing the zeitgeist of the era with timeless songs that remain beloved by fans today.
The band's breakthrough came with their third album, Jollification (1994), which included the iconic hit single "Three Lions", an anthem of England's 1996 UEFA European Football Championship that became a chart-topping success. Other notable albums such as Cloudcuckooland (1990) and Like You Do... (1992) cemented The Lightning Seeds as one of the UK's most celebrated acts. Their infectious songs, including "Pure" and "Change" continue to resonate, making them a key influence on the indie pop and Britpop movements. With a rich legacy and memorable hits, The Lightning Seeds remain an enduring and cherished name in British music history.
