Diverse programme

Councillor Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council's executive member for economy, culture and education told 4BR: "It's exciting to know such a talented and diverse programme of musical acts will be performing for the people of Leeds again this summer.

Music is a wonderful way to animate our beautiful parks and green spaces and, as we celebrate our Leeds 2023 year of culture, these events will create a fabulous atmosphere across local communities."
