Leeds Festival has today opened its doors to early-bird campers and officially gets underway with music on Friday.

The UK festival, which takes place at Bramham Park, is this year hosting US singer Chappell Roan, rapper and singer Travis Scott, and metal band Limp Bizkit as its headline acts.

Around 75,000 people are set to descend on the UK festival, which is a sister event to Reading Festival which takes place on the same weekend with the same line up.

For those with early entry tickets, the site is open from Wednesday, August 20, with the festival opening to weekend ticket holders from Thursday, August 21, and then the music officially begins on Friday, August 22.

Other performers over the weekend include Leigh-Anne, Hozier, Bring Me The Horizon, D-Block Europe, The Kooks, Becky Hill, and AJ Tracey among other big names. Last year’s headliners for Leeds Festival included Liam Gallagher, Lana Del Rey and Blink 182.

Unlike last year, which saw Storm Lillian bring destruction to the festival site, this year is set to be a lot milder in terms of the weather, with little to no rain on the forecast. However there is set to be a fair amount of wind on Wednesday – not ideal for pitching tents!

Most of the weekend is set to be a mixture of cloud interspersed with some sunshine, with temperatures reaching highs of 23C and lows of 9C.

For those camping, make sure to bring plenty of blankets and layers as it will feel cold in tents during the night when the temperature drops to the single digits.
