Now in it's third year, Live At Leeds' summer portion is returning for 2024.
And now even more names have been added for the festival.
T-Shirt Weather is the ultimate festival banger, and Circa Waves know it. The four-piece band will be bringing their set to Live At Leeds: In The Park. Formed in 2015, Sea Girls have also remained a firm part of the UK festival circuit, and will be playing at Temple Newsam over the May Bank Holiday.
Meanwhile, Grammy-winning Corinne Bailey Rae will unveil her latest musical endeavour, 'Black Rainbows' at the festival too. The new concept draws inspiration from objects and artworks curated by Theaster Gates at the Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago, we're told that this musical project promises a distinctive twist.
Now that's a homecoming appearance with a difference.
Additional new names for the festival include Ola Gartland, Hotwax, Lucia & The Best Boys, The Clause and Tom A Smith, who join the already jam-packed line-up kicking off festival season for 2024.
Speaking about Live At Leeds: In The Park, Circa Waves said: “Glad to be back in Leeds. They never let us down! The people, this festival, it’s gonna go off.”
Longtime Brighton favourites The Kooks were announced at the back end of 2023 as the first headliners for the all-day fest, whilst Declan McKenna will return to Leeds this summer, this time swapping a secret set at Leeds Fest for Temple Newsam Farm.
Wakefield’s own The Cribs also will be making an appearance at Live At Leeds: In The Park, returning eight years after headlining the ‘In The City’ portion of the festival back in 2015 – and there’s no doubt that the same crowdpleasers like Be Safe and Man’s Needs will get the crowd on their feet with just as much enthusiasm today.
Hot off the back of a stellar performance at The Wardrobe as part of Live At Leeds: In The City 2023, Antony Szmierek will be taking to the big stage, alongside The Mysterines, Vistas, The Slow Readers Club, Future Islands and more.
Just when it you thought that the Rock N Roll Circus Sheffield line-up was complete, organisers have confirmed a major expansion for 2026.
That's right, the festival will now open a day earlier on Thursday 27 August.
The brand-new opening night will be led by The Kooks, Milburn and Miles Kane - this is going to be a bank holiday weekend you'll never forget.
Further artists for Thursday 27 August - and across the entire four-day weekend - will be announced in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.
It's a welcome addition to what was already shaping up to be one of the standout festival weekends of the summer.

Friday will see The Streets headline with a special performance of A Grand Don’t Come For Free in full. Saturday will be led by one of the UK’s most exciting modern guitar bands, Wunderhorse, supported by Baxter Dury, Mercury Prize winners English Teacher, and London favourites Fat Dog, whilst Sunday will be closed by the one and only Richard Ashcroft.
Festival Director Ali O’Reilly said:“Opening the weekend with The Kooks performing Inside In / Inside Out in full, Milburn returning home and Miles Kane joining the bill feels like a statement night for Sheffield.
“What makes Rock N Roll Circus special is that we can celebrate iconic albums and artists that shaped a generation, while also giving space to the next wave of talent coming through. That mix of heritage and hometown pride is exactly what this festival is about.
“Sheffield has always brought an incredible atmosphere to Don Valley Bowl, and expanding the programme this way gives us even more room to create something memorable for the Bank Holiday weekend.”
Rock N Roll Circus Sheffield takes place at Don Valley Bowl from Thursday 27 to Sunday 30 August 2026, and you can get your tickets here.
