With six new and reimagined stages, the festival promises a completely refreshed experience alongside a line-up led by Charli XCX, Dave, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C., RAYE and a historic Thursday night headline performance from Kasabian.

At the heart of the redesign is The Grid, the festival’s new flagship main stage area, where some of the weekend’s biggest performances will take place. Elsewhere, The Gallery arrives as a new immersive indoor stage featuring large-scale LED production, while The Warehouse expands the festival’s commitment to dance music with a purpose-built space designed around the DJ experience.

The overhaul continues with The Ballroom, a newly transformed stage designed to showcase breakout artists and genre-spanning talent, while The Canopy will focus on emerging acts tipped to become festival favourites. Leeds Festival will also welcome back popular late-night destinations LS23 and Piccadilly Circus, with further programming details still to come.

The Leeds-exclusive line-up includes Blossoms, Jamie Webster, The K’s and Rose Gray, adding further Yorkshire appeal to a weekend already packed with major names. With ticket availability becoming increasingly limited, the announcement marks another significant step in the evolution of one of the UK’s most influential festivals.

Leeds Festival will take place at Bramham Park, Leeds from Thursday 27 August to Sunday 30 August 2026.
