The party is only just starting as happy campers have arrived in our city ahead of Leeds Festival this weekend.
From Thursday (August 27) to Sunday (August 30), Bramham Park will be filled with four days of music from both A list stars and up-and-coming talent.
It’s one of Leeds’ best weekends of the year and in 2026, an astonishing 90,000 people are expected to attend the festival.
With excitement for acts including Fontaines D.C., Dave, and Silver Bumpa, fans are travelling from across the country to watch this year’s line-up.
But before the action officially begins, here are 10 fantastic photos of the first campers heading to Leeds Festival.
