Leeds Festival has become a steady staple of the Northern music scene. Taking place every year on the last bank holiday weekend of summer, an estimated 200,000 fans flock to Bramham park to sample the best of what the music scene has to offer. With its sister counterpart occurring simultaneously in Reading.
Despite the line-up being stacked with larger-than-life names (Chappell Roan, Hozier, Bring Me The Horizon and Limp Bizkit), we’d like to draw attention to the five rising stars set to perform each day on The Indiependent’s Leeds Festival 2025 Playlist.
