housands have arrived at Leeds Festival waiting for their favourite artists to take centre stage.
Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, The Killers, Foals, The 1975, and Imagine Dragons are some of this year’s headliners. Between Friday, August 25, and Sunday, August 27, over 150 artists are scheduled to perform.
Even if it may rain a little for Leeds festivalgoers, it likely won’t spoil the atmosphere at one of the nation’s most well-liked music festivals.
If you’re attending this weekend, here’s all the important information you need to know.
Where is Leeds Festival taking place?
Leeds Festival is taking place at Bramham Park, England, LS23 6ND.
Festival organisers encourage attendees to follow the route signage rather than consulting a map because the junction numbers on the A1(M) changed a few years ago, and outdated printed maps, obsolete sat nav systems, and other devices may not represent the proper junction numbering on the ground.
If you’re travelling by car, no matter where you are coming from, take the A1, M1, or A1(M), and then follow the motorway signage. The A1(M) is where all roads to Leeds Festival begin.
Alternatively, by waiting for the shuttle bus outside Leeds Railway Station, you can board it and head to the Leeds Festival.
The closest train station to the festival is Leeds Railway Station, which serves trains from all around the nation. For those who want to take a taxi to Bramham Park, which takes about 30 minutes, there will be a taxi rank where they may wait for the shuttle bus.
Big Green transport serves as the Leeds Festival’s official transport provider. More than 35 places across the nation are served by them.
Pickup and return trips are available if you choose to arrive at the campsite on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. There are also coach options available for day ticket holders that will pick you up after the music has finished and drop you off before it begins.
