Festival returns after 2026 debut

The event is organised by AEG Presents in collaboration with Leeds City Council. The council said planning was under way for the 2027 festival following the inaugural event.

Roundhay Park has previously hosted concerts by artists and bands including Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Genesis, Ed Sheeran, U2 and the Rolling Stones. Muse have also played in Leeds earlier in their career, including at the Town & Country Club and the Duchess of York. They have headlined Leeds Festival three times, most recently in 2017.

Artists who appeared at the 2026 festival included Pitbull, Lewis Capaldi, Alfie Boe, Tinie Tempah and Conan Gray.

Residents to be kept informed about travel plans

Leeds City Council said it would work with AEG Presents to inform residents and businesses about road closures and other traffic and travel arrangements needed for the event. Details of those arrangements have not yet been provided.

The council said the 2026 festival used local suppliers and staff and generated visitor spending on accommodation, food and other entertainment. It also said the event’s sustainability work was given a “commended” rating through a certification programme run by A Greener Future.

Council leader James Lewis said the festival could help showcase Leeds and support the local economy. AEG Presents UK and European Festivals chief executive Jim King said the company was pleased to be returning to the city with Muse.
