Live At Leeds has announced the first acts for their 2016 fest line-up, including We Are Scientists, Jess Glynne and Rat Boy.
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Live At Leeds will be back in 2016 and hosting a bunch of exciting acts across a swarm of venues in the city.
Acts already confirmed for next year’s fest are the chart topping Jess Glynne, pop sensations Circa Waves, indie veterans We Are Scientists and rising acts like Rat Boy, Clean Cut Kid, Band Of Skulls and Barns Courtney.
Lead booker Andy Smith commented on this year's talent and the festival's ten year legacy as they head into the new year. "2016 will be the tenth year of booking Live at Leeds, it feels like a great achievement to have grown what was originally a four venue bill to what it is today.”
He added, “We have seen some great names grace our stages over those ten years and I’m really looking forward to next year and what will hopefully be our biggest event yet, it really feels like we are stepping up another level.”
New in 2016, Live At Leeds will also be introducing a new digital programme to the event, in partnership with Leeds Digital Festival, taking place in the five days before the live music begins (25 – 29 April). By combining digital themes with Live at Leeds, the organisers are aiming to bring a wider audience into Leeds to share some great acts even further.
More names for Live At Leeds and further details on the digital programme will be released soon, so keep your eyes and ears peeled.
