There are also sets from much loved artists such as Declan McKenna, Sea Girls, Circa Waves, Melanie C and more. Emerging talent on the line up includes Courting, and Glaswegian up and coming artist Dylan John Thomas.
The festival has become a key day in the festival diary of indie-lovers with last years line up Two Door Cinema Club, DMA’s and more gracing the five Live at Leeds stages. The day will take place across five unique stages, each with it’s own line up.
The Cockpit main stage will host the likes of loved artists The Kooks, Declan McKenna, Sea Girls – who are set to release their third album Midnight Butterflies in June, Baby Queen and upcoming talent such as Dylan John Thomas. The CLASH Big Top (partnered with CLASH Music) will see the likes of The Cribs and Future Islands taking to the stage.

The DIY stage (in partnership with DIY Magazine) features well loved female artists such as Caity Baser, who is fresh off her huge UK tour, Orla Gartland along with Nieve Ella.

When speaking about the complete line up Live At Leeds: In The Park, Festival Promoter Joe Hubbard said: “Wow. We can’t believe that we’re but a couple of months away from the return of Live At Leeds: In The Park, and we couldn’t be more excited to get back to Temple Newsam with our biggest and funnest lineup to date.
Really capturing what Live At Leeds is all about whilst making the show accessible to as many people as possible has been really important for us, and this year’s party is already guaranteed to be a cracking one! The orders for suncream are already in, we’ll see you there!”
