Set to return to Temple Newsam for its fourth year, Live at Leeds has just dropped a seriously nostalgic line-up for next summer, and we’re buzzing.
Leeds all-dayer Live at Leeds in the Park will make a triumphant return in May 2025, today announcing first names and a brand new comedy stage for its fourth edition.
Headlining next year’s festival are indie icons Bloc Party, who will be heading to the beautiful surrounds of Temple Newsam park to celebrate twenty years of their groundbreaking debut album ‘Silent Alarm’, as well as other hits from their back catalogue of classics.
Yard Act will join Bloc Party their first appearance on the Live at Leeds main stage alongside Norwegian pop-powerhouse Sigrid, returning to the UK after nearly two and a half years.
Also joining the bill is Liverpudlian singer-songwriter Jamie Webster, while chart-topping British singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield will make her Live at Leeds debut as she marks 20 years of her timeless pop classic ‘Unwritten’ this year.
The festival will also see performances from The Amazons, We Are Scientists, Fat Dog, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, James Marriott and many more.
This year will also see the introduction of Live at Leeds In The Park’s first comedy tent, with Yorkshire’s very own Maisie Adam topping the bill alongside a host of fellow comedians including Barry Dodds, Peter Brush, Stephen Bailey, Angelos Epithemiou, Hayley Ellis and more.
Joe Hubbard (Live At Leeds promoter/booker) said: “It’s always a privilege to work on Live at Leeds, but there’s something about this announcement that feels particularly special.
“The first band shirt I ever bought was the Silent Alarm album tee, so to have Bloc Party performing the album (and other greatest hits) to celebrate 20 years is a big bucket list one for me. We have some real critically acclaimed artists joining us as well as some big festival fun, and I can’t wait to see it all take place in May 2025.”
