Crowd goes mad as Bring Me The Horizon bring special Yorkshire guest on at Leeds Festival

The crowd went wild at Leeds Festival tonight as Sheffield's Bring Me The Horizon brought another Yorkshire star on stage as a surprise for fans.

Halfway through their set on the Sunday, lead singer Ollie Sykes asked the crowd "can you make some noise for YUNGBLUD!" The Doncaster singer ran onto Main Stage West, where he hugged Sykes.

The two yelled "Yorkshire" together and got the crowd repeating the chant before Sykes shouted: "Here we f***ing go!" and continued the band's performance.

Bring Me The Horizon drew a big reaction from the crowd during their performance, and bringing on Yungblud elicited huge cheers from the crowd. The main headliner of the night, Arctic Monkeys, will follow Bring Me The Horizon in bringing Sheffield to Leeds on Main Stage East.

Sykes commented: "It's mad for me that we're here doing this with all you. We're headlining with one of our favourite bands in the world. This is some next level simulation s**t."

Bring Me The Horizon were previously joined by Ed Sheeran on stage at Reading Festival when they performed there on Saturday. It is the Sheffield band's first time headlining Leeds and Reading Festivals after a number of appearances over the years.
