Roundhay Festival 2026: Your full line-up and schedule for Pitbull and the opening day of the festival

The wait is finally over for festival-goers as one of the most anticipated weekend musical events of the summer arrives in Leeds - Roundhay Festival 2026.

The park's historic parkland has a vaunted legacy of hosting some of the most iconic open-air performances in Yorkshire history, and the opening leg of this three-day cultural celebration aims to live up to that reputation.

The excitement is palpable across the city as the gates prepare to swing open for day one. Headlining the main stage is global hitmaker Pitbull, whose high-octane set promises to be an unforgettable, anthem-heavy climax to the night.

He is backed by an incredibly diverse undercard featuring R&B giant Jason Derulo, hip-hop stalwart Lil Jon, and British favourite Tinie Tempah, alongside an eclectic mix of top-tier selectors over on the East Stage.

Arriving early is highly recommended, with gates opening from 1pm to allow crowds to beat the queues.

To help you map out your day and navigate the parkland, we have broken down the full official running order for Friday below.
