Live At Leeds: In The City is now just a few weeks away.

And it's certainly one to get in your calendar (if you haven't already).

Celebrating the best in indie music, the intimate day festival has a habit of predicting huge global stars in the making.

In previous years, Stormzy, The 1975, George Ezra, Ed Sheeran and Yungblud have all played on the stage here in early parts of their careers - and if you want to a chance of being able to say 'I saw them in a tiny 500 person venue a few years ago' - then now's your chance to get down into Leeds and spot some new musical talent.

Kesha pulls out of Roundhay Festival as all-new Pitbull line-up revealed

Thomas Melia Thomas Melia

American pop singer Kesha has dropped out of the Pitbull-fronted Roundhay Festival line-up, with a major shake-up announced today.

The second instalment of artists for Pitbull's headline Roundhay Festival show has been announced and it's missing highly-anticipated and originally-announced artist Kesha.

Festival organisers have said that the star will no longer be able to perform due to 'unforeseen scheduling conflicts'.

The American singer's musical adventure has taken a 'Joyride' since becoming independent in September 2024 and releasing her sixth studio album "." or Period almost a year ago.

Now, Kesha's title as 'Special Guest' has now been handed over to three very impressive artists who also shared a role in soundtracking some of the 2010s biggest hits.

One of these new artists is Jason Derulo, who is ready to treat the crowd to his array of chart-topping melodies like: 'Whatcha Say', 'Talk Dirty to Me', 'Trumpets'.

Another act who knows a thing or two about travelling the globe like Mr. Worldwide is 'Miami 2 Ibiza' hitmaker Tinie Tempah - things are definitely about to get 'Frisky'.

The final artist joining this already impressive list of names is Lil Jon who's bringing his high energy tracks to Roundhay Park such as 'Turn Down For What', 'Shots' and 'Get Low'.

Kesha's departure from this Leeds gig comes as a complete shock as the star is still set to play a whole host of UK festival dates including a BST Hyde Park show in London on 10 July.

In a statement shared via social media, Roundhay Festival has stated the reason for this very big change to the line-up:

"Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts, Kesha will no longer be joining us this July. We hope to welcome her to Roundhay Park in the future."

Although fans who have already bought tickets to the show might still be 'Praying' for Kesha's return to the Roundhay Festival bill, it's safe to say these artists are a great addition.

Pitbull is coming to Roundhay Park in Leeds on Friday 3 July 2026 and so far he's bringing along Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon with more acts to follow - Tickets HERE.
