Leeds Festival – Only One Month to Go

In just one month, the UK’s biggest festival, Reading & Leeds, will welcome 240,000 music fans for an era-defining line-up loaded with electrifying artists and two brand new stages….

…..The Chevron, a ground-breaking 40,000 capacity open-air venue, featuring the world’s first floating video canopy that will turn the sky above into an incredible, reactive display and The Aux stage; which will bridge the gap between the digital and live entertainment worlds as it welcomes some of the most popular digital content creators.

New acts announced for the world’s biggest silent rave on The Chevron include headliners DJ duo Billen Ted and rising drum & bass star Mozey, electro dance producer Badger and garage and grime DJ Flava D.

Other acts announced are garage and house producer Bvnquet, Skeptic, Carlisle’s DJ Oldboy, Job Type & Versarchie, broadcaster and DJ Jeremiah Asiahmah, award winning drum & bass star Disrupta and official DJ of Crystal Palace Football Club Jay Knox.

The Useless Hotline

Whilst The Aux will play host to a wide array of podcasts, interactive talks and live streams on subjects spanning music to pop culture to gym crushes to discussions on healthy living and social anxiety, no topic is off limits. Newly announced names are the charismatic internet sensations Chunkz & Filly whose YouTube hit The Chunkz & Filly Show has gained them millions of fans. By popular demand, Max Balegde and George Clarke will now bring The Useless Hotline podcast to Leeds.

The self-proclaimed ‘podmothers’ of the Goes Without Saying podcast Sephy and Wing will turn up the volume on many unspoken topics, and Sydney Cassidy will be bringing her Gym Girl’s Locker Room podcast – expect candid health and fitness chats, from gym anxiety to gym crushes.  The ultimate music fan girl Jodie Bryant will be joined by Arthur Hill, who is making waves in both the music and social media industries alike, and she will be asking him all the questions any obsessive superfan would wish to know as part of her YouTube show Fan Girl Files.

The stage is launching a series of ‘Unplugged’ sessions with various artists including The Vamps’ frontman Bradley Simpson and finally, Dork music magazine’s Down with Boring podcast will discuss all things music.
