First wave of acts for Live at Leeds 2018

Peace, Circa Waves, British Sea Power, and The Horrors are among the first wave of acts set to appear at Live At Leeds 2018.

Live at Leeds is set to return on May 5th 2018 to various venues throughout the city. The festival will once again be bringing the most exciting names and sounds to the city.

Peace will be bringing their 90s soaked guitar-pop, Circa Waves return, hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed second album 'Different Creatures'. Southend's finest The Horrors be bringing their ferocious and visceral live-show to the festival, along with cult icons British Sea Power.

Next years festival will include many artists from the revered BBC Sound Of… list, including Pale Waves, Tom Walker, Lewis Capaldi, and Sam Fender.

Tom Walker says:

“This will be my third year playing Live at Leeds. Last year I wasn’t sure what to expect but the venue ended up packed out and people were struggling to get in, it was such a sick show! It’s an honour to be invited back to play for 2018, can’t wait!”

Other acts added to the bill include: Anteros, Blaenavon, Nick J.D. Hodgson, Spring King, and Will Heard.

Speaking about Live At Leeds 2018, Festival Director Andy Smith said:

“After arguably our strongest year for the festival in 2017, we’re excited to announce the first of many artist names for Live at Leeds 2018.
The festival has always been about showcasing new music and offering emerging artists a platform to build their audience in the North and this year is no different.
Joining the bill for 2018 we see acts included on the BBC Sound of 2018 longlist in Pale Waves, Sam Fender, Tom Walker and Lewis Capaldi, hotly tipped local artists like GRDNS and Peakes and hyped acts such as Blaenavon, Will Heard and Anteros. And of course, as always, we have a great selection of established and respected artists heading up the bill, like Circa Waves, Peace, British Sea Power and The Horrors. Firmly placed as the first festival of summer, this year will once again be an excellent demonstration of the must see artists of 2018- we hope you can join us to discover your new favourite band.”
