The band Arctic Monkeys comes from High Green. Their frontman Alex Turner usually presents the band in concert saying, "We are the Arctic Monkeys from High Green, Sheffield!" Their song "Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured" includes the lyrics, "I said, it's High Green, mate / Via Hillsborough, please!" At the end of another song, "All My Own Stunts," Matt Helders shouts "Because I'm from High Green, I'm from High Green!" The band's drumhead features the numbers 0114, the dialing code for Sheffield.

In 2012 the organist at St Saviour's parish church was murdered on his way to midnight communion on Christmas Eve. Two men were later convicted and jailed for the attack.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-23372604 |title=Alan Greaves killing: Attackers jailed |work=BBC News |publisher=BBC |date=19 July 2013 |access-date=31 March 2014}}
