Live at Leeds In The Park 2025: First acts announced as Temple Newsam festival headlined by Bloc Party and Yard Act
The first wave of acts have been announced for next year’s Live At Leeds in the Park festival.
The all-day Temple Newsam event will return in May 2025 and be headlined by indie group Bloc Party, who will be celebrating twenty years of their debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ by performing the record in full.
Leeds favourites Yard Act will also be topping the bill on the main stage in their home city less than a year after their triumphant show at the Millennium Square earlier in the summer.

James Smith, Yard Act said: “We've watched Live At Leeds grow from a humble inner city do into a fully fledged outdoor staple of the UK festival circuit. Having all previously played it in former bands, we're excited to finally come together (like voltron) as Yard Act to play it once more.”
Also joining the bill is Norwegian pop-powerhouse Sigrid, who will also be returning to the UK after nearly two and a half years, Liverpudlian singer-songwriter Jamie Webster and chart-topping British singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield will make her live at Leeds debut as she marks 20 years of her timeless pop classic ‘Unwritten’ this year.
