Leeds Festival in 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Leeds Festival is to be headlined by Sam Fender, The Killers, Billie Eilish, Foals, Lewis Capaldi and Imagine Dragons in 2023.
Yard Act, Arlo Parks and Rina Sawayama are among the over 80 new artists to have been confirmed for the August Bank Holiday Weekend at Reading and Leeds.
For Yard Act, it’s yet another live booking for their 2022 debut album The Overload after the ridiculously busy schedule last year was concluded with a sold-out hometown show at Leeds’ O2 Academy.
“They begin quite simply as a loud, bloody good rock band, Shjipstone absolutely shredding his way through openers Pour Another and Dead Horse,” our review reads.
‘Shouting at us doesn’t work anymore,’ Smith says, addressing the status of this gig for the first time but convention continues with Fixer Upper, the early hit in early but not one these days you could exactly sing-along to, aside from the communal introduction of Graham the words which fall out of Smith so auto-functionary as to almost be incoherent.
