The best things to do in Leeds this week | 13 – 19 June 2022
Everything to do in Leeds in the last week of Spring.
This week there’s loads on in Leeds from huge tattoo expos to 3-hour long bottomless brunches. And as always there’s new places now open to try including the long awaited indie burger spot Meat:Stack and a new café bringing the iconic Australian brunch scene to Leeds
Kings of Leon
Tuesday 14th June 2022 | First Direct Arena
One of the most famous bands in the world is coming to Leeds this week after two years of delayed shows from Covid.
Kings Of Leon were a hit from the start, if not quite the hit they would become. Formed by brothers Caleb, Jared and Nathan with cousin Matthew, their 2001 debut landed right slap band in the middle of the great guitar rush of the early 00s. Success was almost immediate, helped by the single Molly’s Chambers and the band’s incendiary live shows, a flurry of hair and guitars that felt inspired by childhoods spent traversing the south with their father’s travelling show.
