Having beaten off the likes of The Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City to win the coveted ‘Best Metropolitan Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards, Live At Leeds is back for 2015 with a plethora of exciting acts across a multitude of venues.

Officially kicking off the festival season, Live At Leeds hosts the biggest names alongside the best in new and upcoming acts. Having played host to the likes of Bastille, James Blake, Wild Beasts, Bombay Bicycle Club, Rudimental and The Vaccines over the years, last year was one of the first places to catch future superstars and BBC Sound Of poll winners Years and Years. Live At Leeds provides a snapshot of everything that is vital in music right now.

Leading the charge amongst the first 100 bands to be announced Carl Barat and The Jackals featuring the Libertines legend with his new band, London alternative rockers Dry The River, the brainy art-pop of Dutch Uncles, Leeds’ noisiest sons Eagulls, the BBC 6 Music championed songwriting of Emmy The Great, ex-Supergrass main man Gaz Coombes, the incredible wordplay of BBC Sound Of shortlisted George The Poet and Leeds psych rockers Hookworms.

Pop heroes Lawson, Grammy nominated singer and producer MNEK, rising punk upstarts Slaves, indie favourites Spector, the rip-roaring folk of Stornoway, MOBO Award winner Stormzy, British-Australian quartet Sunset Sons, Birmingham indie poppers Swim Deep, living legend of noise and punk in the guise of his Thurston Moore Band and Scottish indie rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks will also provide must see sets!

With a supporting cast of incredible talent including North London sibling trio Jagaara, hotly tipped Canadian songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr, Welsh punks Joanna Gruesome and Nottingham duo Childhood making up the 200 bands across the weekend this is one not to be missed!

Palma Violets Announced As Live At Leeds 2014

Palma Violets Announced As Live At Leeds 2014

Live At Leeds are proud to announce the addition of very special guests Palma Violets to the lineup for this weekend.

London four piece Palma Violets’ fusion of indie, garage rock and psychedelia has gained them a legion of fans and that’s hardly surprising given the quality of their material. Debut album ‘108’ contained such anthems in the making as ‘Step Up For The Cool Cats’ which earned them the prestigious ‘Hottest Record In The World’ on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show as well as NME’s ‘Track Of The Year’, the incredible ‘Best Of Friends’. The band plays on Saturday in the intimate confines of The Faversham at 21:45.

Slotting into a lineup already including the recently announced Frank Turner as well as the likes of ¡Forward, Russia!, Albert Hammond Jr, Bipolar Sunshine, Blood Red Shoes, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Chloe Howl, Circa Waves, Clean Bandit, Courntey Barnett, Drenge, Ella Eyre, Fuck Buttons, Royal Blood and The Hold Steady this year is the strongest lineup yet.

In addition, pop starlet and singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt will be performing an extra special Live At Leeds Takeover Dr Martens instore at 6:30PM. With debut album ‘Peroxide’ proving a roaring success this is a chance to catch an up close glimpse of one of the UK’s hottest stars.

Frank Turner To Play Rare Solo Show At Live At Leeds 2014

Frank Turner To Play Rare Solo Show At Live At Leeds 2014

With a lineup already filled to the brim with emerging and established talent Live At Leeds are ecstatic to announce the addition of Frank Turner to this year’s lineup for a rare solo performance.

Frank Turner’s tireless touring since the demise of his former band Million Dead has placed him as one of the UK’s brightest hopes and most admired artists. Travelling the world with his anthemic brand of folk-punk, over the last few years he has gone from the backs of pubs onto UK festival mainstages and the heady heights of London’s prestigious Wembley Arena. Across five albums of powerful, heartfelt songs the likes of ‘The Way I Tend To Be’ he has deservedly become one of the musicians spearheading a true guitar renaissance in the UK.

Slotting into a lineup already including the likes of ¡Forward, Russia!, Albert Hammond Jr, Bipolar Sunshine, Blood Red Shoes, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Chloe Howl, Circa Waves, Clean Bandit, Courntey Barnett, Drenge, Ella Eyre, Fuck Buttons, Royal Blood and The Hold Steady this year is the strongest lineup yet.

Live At Leeds - 50 More Acts Announced For 2014

Having announced the first wave of artists for this year’s festival including the likes of chart toppers Clean Bandit, indie legend Albert Hammond Jr and breakthrough band Wolf Alice as well as the special Leeds Town Hall show featuring a reformed ¡Forward Russia!, Live At Leeds Festival now announce a further 50 bands to the 2014 lineup!

The additions to the lineup once again promise to showcase everything from the best in up coming UK songwriting talent to hotly tipped groups from both sides of the pond!

With an emphasis on the up and coming, the festival will see Manchester-based star in the making Bipolar Sunshine bring his sublime, upbeat and original pop to the festival. 2013 saw him collaborate with the likes of Rudimental and FTSE and this is bound to be a year of even further breakthrough for the young musician. Also joining the lineup and in a similar camp of luscious, soulful pop are the hotly tipped recent Kitsuné signees Years and Years, the electro-pop trio’s recent Hype Machine topping single ‘Real’ caused waves and points to what will surely be a successful year. The elegant, fragile sounds of London via Kendal four-piece Woman’s Hour will also be bringing the painful longing of their upcoming Secretly Canadian debut album to the festival and are not to be missed whilst The Bug’s noise loving dancehall and hip-hop influenced electronica is sure to get people moving. Having been longlisted for the prestigious BBC Sound Of 2014 poll, Bristol singer songwriter George Ezra will also be bringing the tender sounds of his single ‘Budapest’ to the fest whilst fellow act to watch out for in 2014, Fat White Family will be peddling their intense brand of sleazy and visceral rock n roll.

Festival attendees with a penchant for the heavier side of things will also certainly have their tastes catered for. The Finnish apocalyptic post-punk quartet Beastmilk favour huge riffs and equal sizeable with a gothic and metallic twinge that is sure to appeal to fans of Savages and Queens Of The Stone Age alike as showcased on last years Kurt Ballou produced full length ‘Climax’. New York’s Big Ups will also be on hand to bring their frantic, abrasive 90s influenced punk to the festival. Echoes of the Jesus Lizard, Fugazi and Quicksand peppered this year’s debut full length ‘Eighteen Hours of Static’ and with a live show even more energetic than their recorded output, they are sure to be a highlight of the weekend.

Blurring the boundary between solo artist and band, Nottingham’s 18 year old Saint Raymond has a knack for layering his distinctly pop sensibilities with gritty, honest lyrics and a wisdom well beyond his years that has seen him gain a level of attention that is sure to grow. With a similar ear for a pop melody but with their feet more solidly in the indie/rock camp, Californians The Neighbourhood last year revealed their debut album ‘I Love You’ to much praise and having recently supported seemingly unstoppable group The 1975 on their sold out tour are sure to make their presence known in the UK this year. Joining these will be Leeds very own The Sunshine Underground who with a new album due will be bringing their fusion of punk, indie and electronic music to the festival!

These names are just the tip of the iceberg and with over 200 of the finest acts performing across over 20 stages, this year’s festival is one of the strongest yet.
