Good morning from Bramham Park and welcome to the first full day of Leeds Festival 2025! As the arena begins to buzz with energy, festival-goers are gearing up for a packed schedule of incredible music, all building towards a blockbuster headline set from hip-hop titan Travis Scott on the Main Stage.
The Main Stage is set to be the epicentre of all things rap today, with Scott’s performance capping off a formidable triple-header. He’ll be preceded by UK drill pioneers D Block Europe, with US rap sensation Trippie Redd kicking off the trifecta of must-see hip-hop performances earlier in the evening.
Of course, the action is spread far and wide across the festival site, which means some difficult decisions are on the horizon. The Chevron Stage boasts a can’t-miss set from dance music favourite Sammy Virji, while The Dare is set to close out the Festival Republic stage, and the BBC Introducing Stage offers a glimpse at the stars of tomorrow. This incredible variety inevitably leads to some major clashes. Later tonight, fans will have to choose between headliner Travis Scott and the high-energy sounds of Riordan on the Reload Stage.
The choices don’t get any easier throughout the day. D Block Europe’s main stage appearance goes up against both Sammy Virji and Nieve Ella. Earlier, attendees will have to decide between Trippie Redd, Lancey Foux, and Matilda Mann. The afternoon presents another tough call between Suki Waterhouse, Leigh-Anne, Skye Newman, and FUZION across four different stages. To help you plan your day and navigate these clashes, here is the full schedule for Friday at Leeds Festival.
