Live updates from Leeds Festival 2023

Travel advice for Leeds Festival drivers

Thousands of music fans are expected to attend Bramham Park this weekend and National Highways is expecting heavy congestion on motorways and major roads around Leeds and West Yorkshire.

The A1, A1(M), M1, M62 and A64 are all likely to be busy at key times – especially at the beginning and end of the three-day event.

The sun is out at Bramham Park

It is promising to be a sunny start to the day for any early risers at Bramham Park. The Met Office has forecast a mixed bag for ticketholders across the weekend.

Unfortunately there will be rain, but it’s not expected to transform the grounds of Bramham Park into muddy fields as it has in previous years.

Boots on the ground

The Yorkshire Evening Post’s roaming reporter this weekend, Charles Gray, is on-site and just waiting ahead of check-in opening at 8am.
