It’s hosted Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, The 1975 and Lizzo in venues with a capacity of under 400 people.
More than 100 artists will grace stages at more than 15 venues, including the Brudenell Social Club, Belgrave Music Hall, Leeds University Union and the Wardrobe. It’s a welcome boost for businesses that have had a challenging few years to contend with.Joe said: “The event gives a lot of people a job in music, either the few of us who do it year-round like me or the lots and lots of people that do it on the day.
"It brings in money to the city through bars and venues; most of them have a full programme of music from the afternoon to last thing at night, so it’s a full day of takings and a full day of work for the engineers and staff. It’s like an ecosystem of people who work in music. “The financial gain is high, but it also helps put venues on the map. You can see how Oporto has grown in the past few years, to the point where they’ve got a pretty full programme all week. It helps get more artists through the doors of those venues.”
