The Second Wave
About this event
The Second Wave is coming to Yates York! This dynamic Leeds-based 2-piece band delivers the full-band energy you'd expect from a much larger group, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar, drums, and bags of musicianship. Expect a high-octane journey through pop, indie, and alternative hits spanning from the 80s right through to the 2010s – all given The Second Wave's own fresh, inventive twist.
Whether you're after the perfect soundtrack to a night out with mates or looking to inject some serious live music energy into your visit to York, The Second Wave transforms familiar favourites into something entirely new and exciting. Their intimate yet powerful format creates an unforgettable atmosphere that feels both personal and epic, guaranteed to get everyone on their feet and create memories that last long after the final chord.
Head down to Yates York on Church Lane for a one-of-a-kind live music experience. With The Second Wave reimagining classics from every era, you're in for a night that proves dynamite entertainment doesn't always require a full line-up. Pure creativity, pure energy, pure magic.
