Leeds Festival Event in UK
Every year Leeds’ Brahman Park hosts the Leeds festival which is a sister event of the Reading Festival. The Leeds festival is a part of the Reading festival because the organizers are the same and all the line-ups play at both venues but Leeds festival is primarily a music festival that showcases talent from around the world. Most bands and acts at the event fall in the genre of Alternative Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk and Indie Rock. The atmosphere at the Leeds festival is highly energetic and participants are usually young adults or teenagers that come to take a peek at their favourite artists. The event is usually sold out, even though the festival grounds are designed to support as many as 75,000 people.

History
The Leeds festival was born out of a need for more space at the Reading festival. In 1999, Leeds was used for the first time as a second venue for Reading. Since then, the event has taken place every year alongside its sister festival. The opening and closing acts switch between the two venues so that there is continuity in the line-ups. The Leeds festival has grown rapidly over the years and supports almost the same number of people as Reading does. There are some differences between the two events though, including the traditions that are followed. -
