The Cockpit, Music venue in Leeds, England
The Cockpit consisted of three performance spaces beneath railway arches on Swinegate, including a main room for 500 people and two smaller stages.
Opening in 1994 at the former Cock of the North pub location, the venue operated for 20 years until its closure in September 2014.
The venue launched numerous British bands, including Kaiser Chiefs, and hosted performances by artists such as Amy Winehouse, The White Stripes, and Boy George.
The establishment maintained specific club nights throughout the week, with Slam Dunk on Tuesdays, Southern Fried on Wednesdays, and Heavy Soul on Fridays.
The underground location beneath active railway tracks created specific sound characteristics that enhanced the performances of rock, metal, and indie bands.
