What are peoples thoughts on it? I don't think I would be too happy with the line up if I had bought in a pre sale. Link: linky | |

Absolute garbage. Might as well be the Radio 1 Roadshow. | |

If you want to do a Leeds Music Festival, this one is better. Link: Live At Leeds - 5th May | |

A lot of the smaller festivals have much better line-ups at the minute. 2000 Trees, Kendal Calling just to name two. Leeds has been going downhill for years IMO. | |

When I looked at it, it looked terrible. I thought maybe I am just getting old but it getting pelters on twitter etc. At least at latitude or Kendal there is other stuff to do if you don't like the music. | |

that's a cracker of a line up at the LEEDS LIVE ..... be even better if Serious Sam Barrat, Grasshopper & Bent Cousin were added to that cacophony of talent...and a little Reggae ! | |

That looks like your typical V Fest line up years ago. Little bits of everything to the point where it's a bland daytime radio schedule. | |

That is the worst line-up I've seen for Leeds. It used to be great back in the early-mid 00's. None of those bands would of made the bill back then. | |

"hat is the worst line-up I've seen for Leeds. It used to be great back in the early-mid 00's. None of those bands would of made the bill back then." Kings Leon would have they were pretty good til album 4 | |

Leeds line up has been poor for years. Festival Republic appear to have the business model of getting a couple of big bands hoping to sell the majority of the tickets on the back of them. The rest of the line up is made up of up coming bands and those on the wane. Bands are playing high up the line up now when they would have been nowhere near in the past. It’s a shame I used to go every year but haven’t for the past three. I’m at Kendal Callling in a stag weekend, the line up isn’t much better to be fair :( | |

Leeds Festival has been in decline for as long as the football team, and this year's lineup looks pretty rancid. Glad I'm going to Download instead![]() | |

leeds / reading have always generally been a festival for the younger lot, i went every year from the age of 17 - 24 but grew out of it and the lineup, the lineup is probably strong if you fit into the age bracket, if not there are many better available, id recommend end of the road in dorset or the greenman in brecon beacons | |

"Kings Leon would have they were pretty good til album 4" True think I saw them there around 06. Sum 41 were on in 03 when I first went too. | |

Sum41 player on one of the best Leeds festivals ever, and my first (so I might be biased!). The Sunday went something like Andrew WK, Less Than Jake, The Hives, Sum 41, Ash, Muse, Foo Fighters. That having already had Weezer, Dandy Worhols, The White Stripes, Pulp, The Strokes, GnR, Prodigy, Mercury Rev and Feeder on offer! | |

Since when has Grime and RnB been festival music? ![]() They have special events and festivals for this type of music. To be honest i really think these festivals are struggling to fill them with actual bands. How many great festival filling new bands are around? Its not like the 90s when we were loving life under so many amazing brit pop bands ![]() I will stick to creamfields and some classic dance ![]() | |

That was my first year too, with that Sunday. At the time Ozzfest took care of the heavier bands and it was the only show in town on that scale. I think that the steady decline in festival lineups has been a byproduct of the stifling of new bands as the live market centralises on these enormous arena fillers. Bands who are big enough to bring a crowd to Reading are just doing it themselves instead to maximise profit. I'm sure that it's still a good weekend away though. Highlight of my year as a teenager. | |

To be fair they have had some great line ups over the years, it can’t be easy to get the best bands every year 🐔 | |
