Live at Leeds in the Park 2025

[SummerSolstice]

Great price, would pay that just for Bloc Party. Also happy with Yard Act and WAS. 

[Memory Man]

For £49.50 thats excellent value for money

 

bloc party, YA, WAS, Getdown services, fat dog and some comedy on its own is a great day out and theres obviously more to add

From memory, the Park event was £60-70 this year. Slightly dearer than the City event, but some bigger acts, and of course, guaranteed entry, no queueing at venues.

Liking the lineup a lot, Bloc Party doing Silent Alarm and hits sounds great to me, plus Sigrid is brilliant, and I also like Amazons, Natasha Bedingfield, We Are Scientists and Chloe Slater. I'm hoping Neighbourhood Weekender does come back for 2025 as its a lot more local, and I'm over to Leeds the following weekend for the Kaiser Chiefs show, so probably won't be going to this, but would if I was local!

Looks like they got a deal on We Are Scientists - on the following weekend too with Kaiser Chiefs 

Two for the price of one. Must have some dirt on Futuresound.

But it seems a steady enough start. Yard Act will get a bunch through the door irrespective of anyone else, as will Natasha Bedingfield. They'll feel pleased with that.

[sheffinghell]

There'll hopefully be plenty more good stuff to come. Last year the two big announcements were end Nov and end Jan, so they're a month early. Which means we might get the next bit chunk before Xmas.

Yard Act is the biggest draw for me so far. They were superb on T'Other at Tramlines this year. Bloc Party similarly the year before.

There looks like lots of room for decent names. It's a pretty good lineup even without that though. Wondering if Silent Alarm is enough to get me down there early.

Bloc Party were very good at Glastonbury, but I was packed into the heart of it like sardines. Wasn't the most pleasurable experience for me, who generally prefers to hang back or have a nice deckchair.

Tiered ticketing this year. Early bird price is a steal. On sale 9am Friday.

They were, again though the crowd surge from Keane to Bloc Party and being stopped at the fences with squeezing through was mad! The worst thing about Glastonbury is how many tickets they sell for the same space. 10 years ago I would have got from Pyramid to Other in a nice spot for that gig with no issue. But that's the difference between there being another 33k people on site. I ended up getting back to my tent and dancing around there to it with my campers. I do feel I need a different spot though next time.

Yeah you can't argue at that. They'll surely do a southern option.

'Live at Leeds on tour'

 

I did wonder with the new comedy stage, etc and the tiered pricing, whether they might be looking at selling it on to someone like Superstruct in the next year or so.

 

Or perhaps they're just trying out new ideas for cost-savings, and/or widening the appeal beyond the core indie audience.

Not exactly Live at Leeds if it isn't in Leeds, is it.

 

Of course, Slam Dunk did expand too, so who knows.

Temple Newsum is still an area of Leeds. That's kinda like saying Brixton isn't in London if it's not into be center.

No, I meant if there was to be a south version of this. It definitely is still in Leeds. I should know, I live near enough.

I guess for me Leeds is north. I'm looking more midlands/London.

Fair enough. Apologies if I snapped.

Nah you're good man. The north to you is Scotland whereas I'm still 2 a half from you

If you don't mind me saying, as another northern-based name, yours may be a tad misleading. Have you got roots up here?

I think I chose the northern part due to being a united fan, the rest just somehow fitted. So for me, driving 2 and half hours plus up the road is north. For you, driving to like Newcastle or even like Glasgow it.

[NorthernSoul52]

Fair enough.

[sheffinghell]

Possibly another lineup announcement coming. Tickets about to go off sale on Monday.
