Live At Leeds: In The City announces over 50 new artists for indie day festival
Live At Leeds: In The City has long been a way for the city to discover new musical talent.
Having hosted the likes of Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, The 1975, George Ezra and a handful of other household names over the years in their early days, the indie day fest has a history of spotting the next big thing, and there’s no doubt that this year will be just the same.
Returning in October, Live At Leeds has announced a whopping 51 new names this week, with the likes of post-punk band Shame and Newcastle favourites Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, and plenty of homegrown bands from Yorkshire.

The day festival is set to take place across the city, with beloved indie venues and classic gig spots coming together to house music-lovers for 12+ hours.
