Newsam Park festival has confirmed it will be going ahead for 2021 - revealing a new date and the full line-up for this year's event, including a surprise last-minute headline set.
With just under two weeks to go, excitement is building for the event - and now, to compound on that, organisers have released a host of new acts that will be performing on the day.
New additions set to appear at the festival include the likes of Romanian minimal master Rhadoo and Drumcode label head and enduring techno titan Adam Beyer on the Garden Stage.
Beyer will be stepping in to replace Jamie Jones in the headline slot as a last-minute addition.
Beyer will be joined by Cocoon's iconic party starter Sven Vath, plus Fuse mainstay Enzo Siragusa, and much loved local heroes and Mint Residents Annie Errez and Bobby ODonnell.
The festival has also confirmed that Dekmantel favourite and NTS host Palms Traxx will be stepping in for Nightmares on Wax and Dan Shake over at The Lake stage, bringing his mix of authentic Chicago house, dazzling disco and irresistible funk and soul sounds to the dance.
He'll be joined by some big names on The Lake stage, including Denis Sulta, Warehouse Music boss and party-starting DJ Mella Dee.
Speaking on the new additions, a festival spokesperson said: "The complete and final lineup can now be revealed after some intense weeks of late nights, endless phone calls and hard work securing the very best DJs possible."
"These changes and extra headliner addition have only had to come about because of dates being moved not once, not twice, but three times
"As much of the original lineup as possible remains the same, but unfortunately, some DJs were already committed to playing other events on this final rescheduled weekend.
"We truly appreciate your support and patience, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sticking with us - we cannot wait to see you down the front."
Created by the team behind Mint Warehouse, this year's festival will now take place on Saturday 21st August.
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
