Bob Vylan in Leeds: Door times, support, bag policy and what could they perform?

Originally scheduled for November 2025, the show was postponed due to significant external political pressures, making this weekend’s performance a long-awaited moment for fans.

All original tickets remain valid for this rescheduled date, as the duo brings their high-energy blend of punk, grime, and hip-hop to the city.

Joining them for the night are the Glasgow-based "recession punk" rising stars, Cowboy Hunters, who have been earning a riotous reputation supporting the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Sleaford Mods.
