Hannah Corrigan : “The first time I attended Leeds Festival was 2011, I was 16-years-old and really excited! I went with a group of friends from school and we all had a great time.” “Now that I work behind the scenes, I know the level of focus on keeping festival-goers safe and the facilities that we have on site to ensure this.
I would say to both weekend and day ticket holders that you’re going to have a great time as it’s a welcoming crowd and all staff on site are here to help.” d George Daniel of The 1975 perform on Day 3 of Leeds Festival 2023 at Bramham Park on August 27, 2023 in Leeds,.
