Live At Leeds: In The City has announced its festival line-up.
Keeping the biggest up-and-coming indie artists in Leeds for another season, Saturday 15 October will see the city centre transform into every music-lovers dream at much-loved city centre festival Live At Leeds: In The City, with sets from the likes of Pale Wales, Thomas Headon and Palace playing until the early hours.
The news comes just days before debut expansion of Live At Leeds: In The Park takes over Temple Newsam over the Jubilee weekend. Holly Humberstones, The Vaccines, Bombay Bicycle Club, Arlo Parks, Easy Life and Sea Girls are just some of the indie talent to be expected at the one-day festival.
The first headline act to be announced for the In The City version is welcoming guitar-pop sensation Pale Waves. Anthems like ‘Television Romance’, ‘Change’, ‘There’s A Honey’, ‘She’s My Religion’ and latest cut ‘Lies’ (taken from their upcoming third album ‘Unwanted’) are guaranteed to turn Live At Leeds: In The City into a self-proclaimed "goth-drenched celebration" like no other.
Speaking about headlining Live At Leeds: In The City, Heather Baron-Gracie of Pale Wavessaid:“We’re super excited to be headlining this year’s Live At Leeds: In The City! It’s always been a great city for us and a fun one to play, we can’t wait to be back to play some tracks from our new album ‘Unwanted’.”
Whilst Pale Waves will put on an impressive standalone performance without any need for additional acts, there will be plenty more up-and-coming bands and solo artists to keep warm up the crowds around Leeds.

A Pulp pop-up pub is coming to Sheffield, taking over a beloved local boozer
A Pulp pop-up pub is heading to Sheffield later this month, following unbelievable success over in Manchester.
The Sheffield icons will be taking charge of beloved local boozer and grassroots gig venue The Hallamshire Hotel.
The news was announced this afternoon by Rough Trade Records, along with Pulp themselves.
While they're keeping the exact details under wraps for now, we've got a pretty good idea of what we might be able to expect, based on their pop-up pub in Manchester in August.
There, there was a jukebox programmed by Jarvis Cocker himself, along with merch literally plastered on every wall and even the ceilings.
The previous Pulp pop-up pub had loads of merch for sale, from tees and totes to records and stickers.
The walls were turned into a shrine for the band, showcasing posters and photography from throughout their illustrious career.
And the crowds came through in a big way, queueing halfway down the street for a chance to be totally immersed in all things Pulp.
So much so, The Rat & Pigeon (who hosted the Manchester edition) have warned on social media: "Note to @hallamshire_hotel - you WILL be 10x busier than you expect - even if it’s pissing it down. Enjoy!"
For their Sheffield pop-up, all we know for sure is the location (The Hallamshire Hotel) and the date (30 October).
