Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 26th March 2024

Live At Leeds: In The Park is the one-day indie music festival that every music lover needs to get on their radar.

The groundbreaking Leeds-born festival returns in May for its third edition at Temple Newsam on Saturday 25 May and is set to play host to much-loved headliners The Kooks and local heroes The Cribs and Corinne Bailey Rae, along with appearances from the likes of Declan McKenna, Sea Girls, Future Islands, Melanie C, Circa Waves, White Lies and many more.  

From start to finish, there's always a true community feel about Live At Leeds – and not just in a local sense. The line-up is always carefully considered to create a playlist of summer tunes, where each act is just as important as the next, regardless of their fanbase, time on stage or point in their career – there’s space for everyone to perform.

All ages, all genres - and now some new names to enjoy too.

Boyband and radio hitmakers The Script are coming to Leeds and are playing out alongside an equally big support act.

'For the First Time' in almost a year, The Script are playing a run of live shows across the UK including Leeds' First Direct Arena.

A daytime rave where you can be in bed by 8pm is coming to Sheffield

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

The famous Day Fever is back and this time it’s set to be bigger and better than ever before.

If you haven’t heard of Day Fever before, then we are about to blow your mind.

Launched in early 2024 by actress Vicky McClure and frontman of Reverend & The Makers Jon McClure, Day Fever has become somewhat of a cultural sensation.

From its debut her in Sheffield to a tour that sees thousands of ravers hitting the dance floor each month, the message is clear: people want to dance and let loose, but still be in bed before 9pm. And to be honest, we don’t blame them.

Running from 3pm to 8pm, Day Fever provides a proper night out that doesn’t completely write you off for the entire weekend.

Heading to Sheffield City Hall on Saturday 6th June, this edition of Day Fever will be filled with nothing but wall-to-wall hits courtesy of DJs Stars & Stace, Olly Hayes and Christian Carlisle.

"If you look back at the first Sheffield one to what we are now, the evolution of it is amazing," says Vicky McClure. "It was still the same people that wanted the same thing; they just wanted to go out in the day… and just have a dance!"

Think less nightclub, more joyful chaos. “It feels like a massive house party at your nan’s,” Vicky laughs. “No drama, no egos, just people acting daft, getting dressed up, and having the best time."

"It’s stories that we hear that really sum up what it's about," says Vicky McClure. "We’ve had people going through chemotherapy… people grieving… and all of a sudden you just feel this room filled with love."
