From punk and metal, through rock, alternative and indie to dance and nu rave, Leeds offers 75,000 music fans a chance to see hot new acts, and local bands beside big established ones, plus the odd exclusive performance.

The dates for Leeds Festival 2012 are confirmed as on the bank holiday weekend, from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th August at Bramham Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Line-up

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2012, the first acts will be announced on Monday 12th March at 7.15pm. For the line-up rumours as available, please click here.

Tickets

Early bird tickets are no longer on sale. General sale tickets will be released on Monday 12th March at 7.15pm. There will be a deposit sale introduced for the March main sale. Day tickets will be available at a later date.

Tickets are expected to be limited to a maximum of two per person and per credit card for those booking online. U16s (15 & under) must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Children under 13 (12 and under) are admitted free but MUST be accompanied by a ticket holding adult. Please note there is no separate children's area at this event, and eFestivals considers this an event not really suitable for small children.

There will be no box office selling tickets on site at Leeds this year.

Ticket instalment plan

There will be two schemes, a two-part scheme and a four-part scheme, available to buy tickets from Seetickets, Ticketmaster and Ticketline. eFestivals will have links here for you to buy tickets through and help support this site.

The Two-part scheme will involve an initial payment is 50% of the face value of tickets (not yet announced) plus an £8 booking fee. This will be followed by making a second payment of 50% of face value plus a postage fee priced at £5.25 per transaction (regardless of number of tickets in the booking) at a later date (yet tbc).

The Four-part scheme requires an initial payment of 25% of the face value plus the £8 booking fee per ticket.Followed by two more monthly instalments at 25% of face value, and then a final 25% payment of face value plus £5.25 postage fee per transaction (regardless of number of tickets in the booking).

If a payment is missed, or you decide you no longer want to attend the festival, a refund on the amount already paid will not be possible. The four-part scheme offer will end once there is less than four months to go before the festival, but the two-part will still be on offer.

Coach travel

Travel to Leeds Festival with National Express.

Restrictions

No aerosols (over 250ml) or gas canisters this year. Those wanting to cook need to bring disposable BBQs, trangias or solid fuel stoves. Anyone seen with canisters or cylinders will be ejected from site.

This year only small, clean, campfires only are allowed in the campsites they must be kept below knee height and less than one pace wide. They will be monitored and extinguished if otherwise.

Organised bonfire displays will be held onsite at Yellow bubble, Red and Orange campsites.

Once again this year no flags will be allowed to be taken into the festival arena, as they obstruct the view of people behind.
