The Cribs to mark 20 years of 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever' with Wakefield homecoming gig
The Cribs will headline a homecoming concert at Tileyard North in Wakefield on August 20, 2027, playing their 2007 album Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever in full. !Forward, Russia! will join as special guests and perform their debut Give Me A Wall in full. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on October 23, with a presale two days earlier.
The show could give Wakefield’s music scene a notable boost, drawing local fans, traveling indie followers, and nearby businesses to Tileyard North. It may also strengthen the venue’s Live At Tileyard North series by pairing heritage acts with a hometown narrative. For older fans, the anniversary could revive memories of the 2007 indie era; for younger listeners, it may offer a gateway to that period. The event’s wider social effect is likely modest but culturally meaningful for the local area.
