Speaking about Live At Leeds 2017, Festival Director Andy Smith said;
‘We’re really excited to reveal the first bands for Live at Leeds 2017. It’s great to welcome back local heroes the Pigeon Detectives and Wild Beasts; it’s been seven years since Wild Beasts last joined us. Alongside them is a plethora of exciting established and new breaking artists.
Slaves rejoin us after utterly smashing the Brudenell Social Club in 2015. White Lies and Superfood return after lengthy stints away and keep an eye out for the Amazons, Blackwaters, Fangclub and Freak, all pressing forward with the new wave of guitar and punk music that encompasses what Live at Leeds is all about.’
Live at Leeds will take place across a variety of venues in Leeds City Centre, on Saturday 29th April. Tickets are now available and can be purchased through the festival website here – Liveatleeds.com
