Joe Hubbard, Promoter, Live at Leeds: “Very excited to unveil the next round of artists on Live at Leeds in the City! We’ve got some big hitters making their LAL debut in Shame and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, both phenomenal live acts who will be real highlights I’m sure. Katie Gregson Macleod I’ve seen a couple of times this year and I’d highly recommend – a spellbinding performer. Super happy we’ve got LYNKS back, anyone at The Key Club set a couple of years back knows not to miss that show! And we’re also welcoming the “Launchpad” stage back again this year, an organisation supporting musicians across Yorkshire with opportunities, help and access to resources – whose line up includes the mega Chiedu Oraka.”
Nick Simcock, Venue Manager, Oporto: “Live at Leeds is always one of the biggest days of the year for us, the vibe across the city is amazing with people darting between venues checking out the carefully curated day packed with new artists. We have people queueing down the road to see the next big thing at midday, then dancing on the tables afterwards ’til 4am, just how we like it!”
