Reading & Leeds 2015
Leeds 2015 starts with The Libertines, Kendrick Lamar, Jamie xx & more
Day one highlights also come from Glass Animals and The Maccabees.
What became of the likely lads? The Libertines are here to prove they’re back for good, topping day one at Leeds 2015.
The action kicks off with a must-see set from Shura in the early afternoon - following that, highlights come from Against Me!’s Main Stage slot and a hyped-up appearance from Zane Lowe’s new favourites, Spring King.
Things continue with a set from Glass Animals, while The Cribs and The Maccabees steal the limelight on the Main Stage. Wander around elsewhere and you’ll find The Big Moon playing a BBC Introducing set, while Jamie xx is taking Leeds ‘In Colour’ in the early evening.
And ahead of The Libertines, you’d be a fool to miss Kendrick Lamar.
Check out the must-see acts at day one of Leeds below.
