Leeds Festival is in full swing at Bramham Park, with up to 80,000 attendees enjoying performances from headliners including Chappell Roan, Hozier, and Bring Me The Horizon. While the main arena buzzes with activity, the Mirror has gained exclusive access to the guest, VIP, and backstage areas, revealing a world of luxury amenities.
In the backstage area, revellers can unwind in a fully stocked bar offering beer, cider, spirits, and seltzers, accompanied by live DJ sets. Comfortable sofas and deck chairs provide a relaxed atmosphere to soak up the festival vibe. For dining, dedicated food stands such as Cluck Stuff serve rice bowls and loaded chicken, while a coffee stand offers a quick caffeine fix.
The Guest Area offers a chance to mingle with performing acts; a Mirror reporter even bumped into Liverpool band Red Rum Club. The space is adorned with vintage Reading and Leeds posters, showcasing past lineups including Pulp, Oasis, and Foo Fighters. This year's festival also features Travis Scott, AJ Tracey, and Becky Hill, among others.
Reading & Leeds recently won the Innovation Award at the UK Festival Awards 2024 for the Chevron Stage, which boasts immersive lighting and stage design. The 2025 festival is scheduled for 21–24 August at Richfield Avenue in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds.
