'SPACE rock' pioneers Hawkwind will play a show in Leeds this Spring.

The cult band, still led by Dave Brock nearly 40 years after he founded it, will take the stage at Leeds University Refectory on Thursday, March 16.

Hawkwind's appearance at Leeds - their only north of England date confirmed so far for 2017 - has been organised by Ilkley-based promoters Foot Soldiers Music, and will see them supported by Bradford four-piece Glass Mountain.

Tickets cost £24 and can be booked by visiting thelittleboxoffice.com/footsoldiersmusic .

Already with more than 50 albums to their name, Hawkwind are due to issue a new release, Into The Woods, this Spring.
