Video: Fans flock to Live at Leeds event

More than 120 bands will perform at more than 10 venues in and around the city centre with there likely to be something to suit every possible taste.

While the emphasis is on offering a showcase for the burgeoning music scene in and around the city, more established acts will also be performing, including headliners AlunaGeorge, Darwin Deez, Everything Everything, Laura Mvula, Rudimental and Leeds’s own Pigeon Detectives, while The Vaccines perform a stand-alone show in Millennium Square on Sunday.

Venues include the O2 Academy, Brudenell Social Club, The Cockpit, The Faversham and The Wardrobe, along with plenty of acts performing at the city’s two universities.

Phil Harrison caught up with Live at Leeds’ Ben Lewis to find out what music fans can expect over the weekend, which culminates on Bank Holiday Monday with a five-a-side football tournament featuring a number of the bands on show.
