Love Leeds Festival

On Saturday 4 June 2005, some of the biggest club nights in Yorkshire are joining forces for Love Leeds (The Festival) - a mammoth 14 hour dance festival.


In previous years, non-ticketed events in Leeds have caused concern amongst local residents due to crowd problems. This event will be ticketed and will be strictly controlled with only 10,000 tickets being sold on a first come, first served basis.

Four big top arenas at Lotherton Hall will house this outdoor dance festival. The event runs from 4pm – 6am and will see a fusion of music styles, from funky house to old school, to breaks and techno as well as hard house.

Funky house nights Federation and Kiss da Funk will be hosting the 3,200 capacity Arena 1; Retro will be holding court in the 2,500 capacity Arena 2 in association with Joy, Groovejet and Gladrags and the 2,500 capacity Arena 3 will be home to Superconductor. A fourth arena has added to the bill in association with Goodgreef and Parlez-vous

The site will also feature an outdoor sound stage, funfair, champagne and bar tents and an outdoor market selling everything from records to sportswear to clubbers’ accessories.

Shuttle buses (service X64) will be on hand to ferry clubbers to the event every 20 minutes from Leeds city centre. The single fare is £3.
