Leeds Festival 2023 kicks off today and while the main music line-up doesn’t start until Friday, there’s still plenty of things on around the site this evening.
In the arena, The Festival Republic Stage tent will kick things off with live music from 7:15pm, while over in the campsites, late-night dance arenas LS21 and Anachronica get underway at 9pm. There’s also a full Piccadilly Party line-up running tonight and there’s even a cinema being set up in the 1Xtra Tent, where you can watch Avatar: The Way of Water at midnight.
We’ve got the full list of stage times below – and if you’re wondering about the weather, you won’t need to rush into the Festival Republic tent to keep dry. It’s now unlikely to rain at Leeds Festival until around lunchtime on Friday and there’s even the chance of a few hours of sunshine from 5pm tonight.
