Posted: March 30, 2015 in FESTIVALS, WE LOVETags: festivals, Leeds 02 Academy, Leeds University, Live at Leeds
Back for its ninth annual outing, Live at Leeds assumes its customary position over the early May bank holiday weekend. Buoyed by the success of having bagged last year’s coveted ‘Best Metropolitan Festival’ award, this time around it promises two hundred bands, twenty venues and one wristband – all for the unbeatable value of £27.
Live at Leeds has built a strong reputation upon an ethos of promoting local talent alongside more established national and international artists, whilst also being one of the very best places at which to catch the year’s breakthrough acts.
The festival has today revealed its venues and scheduling for the event that this year falls on May 1st. .
Eagulls, Hookworms, Carl Barat, Tobias Jesso Jr, Telegram and Meance Beach to name a handful will be in attendance. Add to that the plethora of bands who will be adorning your favourite magazines and site (ahem!) next year and the heart skips a beat.
