Anyone done live at Leeds festival before?

Thinking of doing it as a few artists I really like are playing and haven’t done anything in Leeds for ages. What venues is it at/normally at? Is it normally rammed? Somewhat put off by the “vip access”.

yeah

Same night a venue said Frank Turner was at capacity and wouldnt let anyone else in, my mate demanded to see the manager and do a count of people and they let us in. Had to stand on the stairs

I went in 2009 I think. I had a good time. Suspect it’s changed a lot since then

Yeah been a few times. Oporto always seems to be full so be warned if anyone you want to see is playing there. Larger venues sometimes have a queue to get in depending who’s playing, but I’ve generally not found it too bad.

Last year’s Clashfinder is over here, that should give you a list of previous venues Live At Leeds in the City 2022 Line-Up :: Clashfinder

I’ve been a few times and I’ve never had a bad time. I usually end up just staying in town rather than walking out to the Brudenell unless it’s a nice day as otherwise you can spend a lot of time walking or on buses and not actually seeing stuff.

That’s the sort of Tory behaviour that, in a just society, would be punishable by being made to watch Frank Turner, so all’s well that ends well.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Hope none of the four acts I want to see are on there

Plan for the day. Only trip out of town is at the end of the night conveniently. Need to check in to the hotel at 3pm and get lunch but will try and see a band around 4

I’ve posted this in the Leeds thread as well, but I have a free spare ticket for this if anyone would like it.

Got myself a Tickets For Good freebie (more or less) ticket for Live At Leeds In The Park on 24th May, thinking I’d be able to make it work. Turns out I can’t make it work.

Anyone want it free of charge?

Should caveat this by saying that the small print on the ticket states ‘ID may be required from the Account Holder upon entry to the event’ but pretty sure you’ll be alright because when do they ever check? Still just worth bearing in mind.
