‘Live at The Light’ has officially launched: Leeds’ newest stage for rising talent
The Light Leeds has launched its new summer event series; ‘Live at The Light’ in collaboration with Heart Radio. The centre has been brought to life with DJ sets and live music, celebrating the Leeds creative and arts scene.
The performance space, located on the balcony level of The Light, has been transformed into a dedicated area complete with a stage, backdrop and seating - for singers, bands and musicians from Leeds to showcase their talents.
The space is pre-booked through June with musicians every weekend to bring some free entertainment and joy to the city centre. Kicking off the month was Halo Strings, an all-female classical and electric string quartet, followed by Country Chix, who brought a fresh twist to country favourites like Jolene.
Next up, catch the acoustic duo On The Tracks on Saturday 21st at 3pm. Plus, two more exciting acts are lined up to close out the month:
- Sunday 22nd – Alistair Grant Sax, 3pm
- Saturday 28th – One2ManyDJs, 3pm
Looking ahead to July and August, the dedicated performance area will be available to book for independent talent to busk away.
The free launch event raised awareness around the opportunity for creatives in Leeds to put themselves forward and showcase their talents. Event goers hit up the pop up bar, watched a stunning performance by Halo Strings, and enjoyed DJ sets from ex-Heart presenter Dixie.
Stephanie James, Marketing Manager at The Light commented: “We’re so excited that the secret is out and Live at The Light with Heart Radio has officially come to Leeds. It will really bring the centre to life through summer while showcasing the brilliant music and arts scene we have here in Leeds.
“Local talent will soon be able to book a slot on The Light website to use the performance area on Saturdays through July and August.
“We’re excited to welcome faces old and new to Live at The Light!”
