OnRoundhay is the ultimate day out for standout live music with mouth-watering food and drink experiences along with a fun-filled programme of entertainment for all ages, where under 12s go free!  Tickets are on sale now.
Confirmed for the inaugural festival is a fantastic line-up of amazing artists including the multiplatinum-selling James, fresh from their triumphant set at Glastonbury. Their new album ‘Girl at the End of the World’ surged to number two in the album charts earlier this year. The‘Sit Down’ and ‘She’s A Star’ group will co-headline alongside Scottish rock legends Primal Scream, who’ve had another incredibly successful year with the release of their new Top 20 album ‘Chaosmosis’ and a string of critically acclaimed live performances.
London four-piece Wolf Alice are undoubtedly one of the breakthrough bands of the past year. Having successfully torn up the indie rulebook, combining candyfloss melodies with a stridal grungy edge, the Brit and Grammy-nominated band will be sure to thrill the OnRoundhay audience. Iowa’s Max Jury promises to delight fans with his heartfelt, country tinged and perfectly executed indie-pop. Leeds 7-piece The Haggis Horns will bring a live funk extravaganza; combining funk, soul and hip-hop guaranteed to get the crowd grooving. With more acts to be announced, OnRoundhay is already shaping up as one of the must-go to event on the Yorkshire calendar.
Working closely with Leeds City Council; OnRoundhay will offer the local community a memorable experience, bringing live entertainment back to the historic green space of Leeds Roundhay Park. OnRoundhay will be the first large scale event of its kind since Robbie Williams performed there 10 years ago. Legendary promoter Harvey Goldsmith previously promoted gigs on the site with the likes of Madonna, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen.
Harvey Goldsmith CBE told us, “I am really pleased to be back presenting a show in Roundhay Park. 3 years ago we created with John Lewis a brand new style of Festival called OnBlackheath, this was universally received by artists, performers and the public. We are delighted to be able to extend this brand by producing the first OnRoundhay Festival with John Lewis as our partner. The event will follow the same format as OnBlackheath, with fantastic music, great curated food and lots of activities for kids of all ages. I would like to thank Leeds City Council for their help in making OnRoundhay happen.”
Councillor Judith Blake, Leader of Leeds City Council, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming the OnRoundhay Festival this September to our very own Roundhay Park, which over the years has hosted concerts by some of the world’s biggest and most iconic artists. It is fantastic therefore to see live music back at Roundhay Park, and to see John Lewis who are opening a new flagship store in Leeds, playing a part in the city’s wider cultural offering.”
