Leeds Festival
27-29th August 2010
More infoLeeds Festival started life in 1999 - there was a need for festival-goers in the north to be able to have access to the same kind of festival fun enjoyed by fans in the South who had long been rocking at the legendary Reading Festival.
You'll always find a top line up and plenty of entertainment on offer at Leeds - packed to the rafters with some of the biggest names out there, Leeds also showcases those breaking acts, and brings you a host of fantastic and exclusive performances from the music world which includes all genres and many surprises.
Leeds festival is pure rock and roll - fun and frenetic - music with plenty of mayhem and much, much more - if you love your rock you'll just love Leeds festival - it's one of the giants and deserves it's place as one of the UK's greats.

NME and Lock Up rule the roost but the Main Stage holds it's own as Reading is rammed with quality acts all over the site - festival heaven!
Easy access, great bands, and an opportunity to smuggle in wine strapped to your back. What more could anyone ask for?
