The first ever Popworld Festival is coming to Leeds next year, and the new date has finally been announced.

Despite having to rearrange the highly-anticipated musical celebration full of 90s and early noughties pop bangers twice due to COVID, the team behind Popworld Festival is determined to “bring it all back” to Millennium Square next August.

Whether you lived through those eras and want to step back into a time warp of nostalgia, or you just love a cheesy tune, Popworld Festival is bringing the best of pop’s golden era.

Cheeky Girls, Fatman Scoop, S Club, 5ive, and festival headliner Peter Andre are all confirmed to take to the stage.

Yorkshire native, turned killer DJ, Paul chuckle of Chuckle Brothers fame will be spinning some classic pop anthems in his non-stop set, and an extra special mystery guest will also be making an appearance later in the night.

Although festival organisers are staying tight-lipped on who it’ll be, they’ve said to “get ready to be driven crazy by this classic 90s icon”.

“It’s great that the Popworld Festival is guaranteed to go ahead now,” said Jonathon Guest, from festival organisers Stonegate Group.

“With COVID cases dropping and the vaccination programme making headway, we are really looking forward to giving people one of the biggest pop party experiences around next year.”

As well as the festival itself, there will also be official Popworld Festival after parties hosted at Popworld Briggate Street, Popworld Cookridge Street, and Walkabout, Woodhouse Lane to make sure the the party is kept going until the early hours.

Popworld Festival is coming to Millennium Square on Saturday 6 August 2022.

While ‘Tier One’ tickets have all sold out, ‘Tier Two’ tickets are now available to buy priced at £27.50, and the team behind the festival has also introduced a VIP ticket priced at £49.95 – which includes priority seating, a chance to meet the artists, and a goody bag from sponsor, Ciroc Vodka.
