While neighbouring Temple Newsam plays host to Live at Leeds in the Park this weekend, its older sibling, Live at Leeds in the City has announced details of the first names set to perform at this year’s event.
Taking place on 15th November across the city centre’s many storied venues, included among those confirmed today are Jalen Ngonda, Katy J Pearson, Panic Shack, Divorce, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, NXDIA and CATTY.
Festival promoter Joe Hubbard says: “So excited to release the first round of artists for Live At Leeds In The City 2025! We’re delighted to welcome the phenomenal Jalen Ngonda over from Liverpool, cannot wait to hear new music from him. If you’re into contemporary hip hop, Jalen is a must-see.
