Leeds Festival 2025 – dates, lineup, tickets, travel, and more 

We’ve done all the work so you don’t have to.

Thomas Melia Thomas Melia - 18th August 2025

Leeds Festival is returning to Bramham Park and here’s everything you need to know ahead of this huge live music weekend.

Summer might nearly be over, but what better way to celebrate the last few days of blue skies and golden rays than attending a live music festival packed with our favourite artists?

Bramham Park is about to welcome 70,000 music fans, who will each be donning their finest ‘Sundress’, enrolling at the ‘Pink Pony Club’, and unleashing their ‘Northern Attitude’, all while ‘Sleepwalking’ from stage to stage to make sure they don't miss a single set.

Covering everything from hip hop to pure pop, indie rock to metal, if there’s one thing that Leeds Festival boasts, it’s an eclectic and diverse music soundscape for all to enjoy.

Leeds Festival has been providing Yorkshire residents and festivalgoers from across the UK with some cracking acts and performers since 1999 - and this year is no different. 

Lineup

This Leeds-based music celebration is about to go off as Travis Scott will be playing an exclusive set, marking his only European festival appearance of 2025. 

Chappell Roan is ditching ‘The Subway’ for the Weaver Network as she has been confirmed as another headliner for Leeds Festival 2025.

Adored Irish singer and acoustic act Hozier is also making a long trek as he makes his way ‘From Eden’ to Bramham Park - guitar in hand - to play a selection of discography standouts.

Our friends over at The Sheff will be buzzing as hometown music maestros Bring Me the Horizon claim their ‘Throne’ and the fourth headline slot at this prestigious music festival.

Where can I get tickets for Leeds Festival 2025?

Tickets for Leeds Festival are always in demand, but we’re not here to say ‘Good Luck, Babe’ and leave you empty-handed.

You can still find a handful of tickets for individual days and you can even score yourself tickets to the full three days of sensational live music and a variety of accommodation options HERE.

Where is Leeds Festival?

Of course you may be thinking this is a silly question to ask considering its location is mentioned in the festival title, however Leeds Festival actually isn’t in the city centre.

Located in Bramham Park, this bank holiday weekend music destination is a 30 minute drive from the city centre.

The full address is: Leeds Festival, Bramham Park, Leeds, England, LS23 6ND.

How to get there

From Leeds City Centre

Shuttle buses will be provided by First Bus from the Leeds Train Station area, and tickets can be bought via the app HERE.

For those getting a lift there will be an official ‘Pick Up and Drop Off’ zone, located off York Road on the A64.

Uber is the official taxi company for the festival, but naturally local cabs will be in the area. Leeds Festival is estimating a taxi will cost around £25 – £40 each way.

What food and drink options will be at Leeds Festival?

The only confirmed shop as of yet is UK supermarket chain Co-op, who will have a pop-up shop across the Leeds Festival weekend, offering festivalgoers a selection of trusty meal deals.

Of course it wouldn’t be a live music festival without a variety of food trucks and vendors with free-flowing fries, burgers, hot dogs and more, and we’re sure you can expect just that across all three dates too.

Last year saw Pollini’s Pizza Slice, Nom Nom Kitchen and the very fitting Yorkshire Wrap Company, who packages a mighty Sunday roast into a tortilla, covered in heaps of gravy too, yes please.

How to stay safe at Leeds Festival?

There will be professionals onsite to help you with any problems you may encounter during your time at the festival.

There are over a thousand security, stewards and campsite staff on duty, all of which wear branded festival tabards. Locate a member of staff for any emergencies, who will be able to assist or locate the correct assistance.

American chart topper Jason Derulo is visiting Leeds for a night of radio bangers that will get stuck 'In My Head' and yours too.

His latest effort The Last Dance is an eight track EP featuring collaborations with INNA and Melody as well as the bouncy lead single 'Sexy For Me'.

This leg of shows is titled after this project and Derulo is asking anyone going to wear their best futuristic or metallic attire and accessories - You might end up being his 'It Girl'.

First Direct Arena has a curfew of 11pm meaning as much as we ′Don't Wanna Go Home', at least we'll be tucked up in bed before the early hours.

Anyone attending can expect the doors to open at 6.30pm with a kick-off time expected to be 7.30pm with support from Czech rising star THERA and Manchester EDM group LZ7.

How to get to first direct arena

Bus Station

Located on Dyer Street next to Leeds City Bus Station and approx. 15min walk from first direct arena and is wheelchair friendly.

Support and help for any persons with a disability is available as the station is a registered ‘Safe place’ to come into and ask for assistance.

Nearest Bus Stops

  • Clay Pit Lane
  • Wade Lane/Lovell Park Road
  • Woodhouse Lane

Nearest Train Station

Leeds City Station on New Station Street is around a 15min walk from first direct arena and a major hub on the national, regional and local rail network providing connections to a wide variety of destinations.

Parking

There are over 7,500 car parking spaces within a 15-minute walk of the arena. The arena doesn’t have it’s own car park however there are lots of options nearby. To receive 5% off Q Park when attending a show at first direct arena click here

The nearest Car Park with EV charging is located on Albion Street click here.

None of the above car parks are operated by the arena so for questions, queries or comments we ask that you contact the companies directly.

Hiring Bikes in Leeds 

If you’re looking to hire a bike in Leeds, here are some of the best options you can try:

  • Beryl bikes – you’ll find the ‘Leeds City Bikes’ from Beryl stationed throughout the city. These are all e-bikes, and they’re available to hire on a pay-as-you-go basis. It costs £1 to unlock the bikes, and then 16p per minute to use them. We’d say these are great for zipping around the city and getting from A to B.
  • Talio – for a wider selection of electric bikes to choose from, Talio based at Buslinthorpe Green is a great option. From this company, you can hire cruiser bikes, mountain bikes, and cargo bikes. Prices start from £20 per day for rental, but if you’re hiring for a month or longer you’ll get a good discount.

First wave of special releases for Record Store Day UK 2026 have been announced

Danny Jones Danny Jones

Yes, it’s nearly time for Record Store Day 2026, and the list of the first dozen or so limited edition releases here in the UK has just been announced.

With a fair few familiar and, more importantly, Northern names on there (but of course), #RSDUK26 is set to be another great one.

A total of 15 songs have been named on the lineup for this year so far, and yet again, the drops are in support of War Child, who will also be hosting a number of very special and intimate charity gigs during BRITs Week.

The two organisations have collaborated for the sixth time after having first joined forces back in 2020, and it feels like both the annual observance and its catalogue have only got better ever since.

Plenty that have caught our attention already, and there’s only more set to come…

As detailed in the post on social media, the Record Store Day team have retierated that “£1 from every single copy sold of these releases will be donated to the charity, helping to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of the children who are living through conflict around the world.”

We quickly noticed the likes of The Cure, Fleetwood Mac, Kaiser Chiefs, Mark Knopfler and Bring Me The Horizon, just to name a few.

Once more, here is the RSD 2026 release list in full:

Record Store Day release list | 2026

  • Corinne Bailey Rae – Live In New York
  • The Cure – Greatest Hits and Acoustic Hits (compilations)
  • Divorce – Live at Get Together 2025 for War Child
  • Dr Feelgood – Oily City Confidential (OST)
  • Fleetwood Mac – The Original Fleetwood Mac (compilation)
  • James Dean Bradfield – The Great Western
  • Kaiser Chiefs – The Future Is Medieval
  • Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris – ‘All The Roadrunning’
  • Nicky Wire – Intimism
  • Primal Scream – Echo Dek
  • Rory Gallagher – Calling Card
  • Sigrid x BMTH – ‘Bad Life’
  • The Streets – Computers & Blues
  • The Vaccines – What Did You Expect…. Demos and B-sides

As always, all of these titles will be available behind the counter exclusively at indie record shops all over the country on Saturday, 18 April to celebrate Record Store Day UK 2026.
