Millennium Square Summer Series 2026: Full lineup and ticket details revealed

From indie heavyweights and 80s legends to orchestral dance anthems, the Millennium Square Summer Series returns with a blockbuster lineup of eight open-air concerts in the heart of the city

Leeds is set to sizzle this summer as the annual Summer Series returns to Millennium Square, bringing eight nights of open-air concerts ranging from indie icons to orchestral dance classics.

The heart of the city is gearing up for another season of eight standout open-air gigs set against the striking backdrop of Leeds Civic Hall.

The festival kicks off with a bang as Club Classical Ibiza brings dance music classics to life via the Orchestra of Opera North, curated by Utah Saints.

This is swiftly followed by a night of nostalgia with 80s Classical, featuring iconic hits performed by Bananarama, Nik Kershaw, Johnny Hates Jazz, and Nick Heyward.

The full lineup for this year's Leeds Summer Series at Millennium Square has been revealed, with the likes of The Cribs, Alabama Shakes, Utah Saints and more taking over the city centre.placeholder image

The excitement continues through early July as the ‘Sounds Of The City’ concert series takes over the specially created outdoor arena.

Audiences can look forward to a diverse range of genres, including country from Dylan Gossett, soulful rock from Alabama Shakes, and the emotive pop of Tom Odell.

Indie favourites Wet Leg and local heroes The Cribs are also set to headline major nights, though fans should note that The Human League's performance on July 10 is already sold out.

To complement the music, the arena will feature a fully licensed bar and a range of street food catering concessions.
