Everything you need to know about the music at Leeds Festival 2022
The festival returns to Bramham Park in Leeds on August Bank Holiday weekend and here’s everything you need to know.
One of the UK’s biggest festivals is back this month and is promised to be bigger and better than ever.
The event is expected to see around 100,000 people attend on the August bank holiday weekend from Friday, August 26 to Sunday, August 28 2022.
Returning after a heartbreaking Covid-enforced hiatus, this year there will be two main stages, instead of the usual one, to stop any clashing of the anticipated headline acts.
In total there will be 7 stages at the festival this year as well as 6 headline acts performing, rather than the usual three.
The lineup includes Yorkshire favourites, Arctic Monkeys. The indie icons have been slowly announcing their European tour dates over the past few weeks and have even rumoured that their new album will be released in the new year. This will be the third time that the band have headlined Reading and Leeds Festival.
The Sheffield-based band will close the festival on Sunday 28 August, but there are plenty of big names to listen to throughout the festival.
Although the set times are yet to be announced, here’s a rundown of who’s performing on each stage throughout the weekend.
Keep your eye out on the official Leeds Fest website for the set times.
