Leeds Festival 2023 headliner Sam Fender has spoken of quite possibly having his life saved at Bramham Park.
Sam Fender, 28, is one of the Leeds Festival 2023 headline acts. He will be appearing alongside Billie Eilish, Foals, The Killers, Imagine Dragons and Lewis Capaldi.
Talking about his confirmation to headline at Bramham Park, and its sister event Reading Festival, he told fans of a possible near-death experience he escaped from. Taking to Instagram, in a somewhat lighthearted tone, Sam said: "I first went to Leeds festival 10-years-ago as a teenager, me and Deano spent the entire week launching hot dogs out of a gazebo pole at random crowds of lads chanting ‘Yorkshire Yorkshire’.

"One night I was out cold in my tent from necking a bottle of vodka at Eagles of Death Metal. My tent got set alight, some fine young hero from Sheffield p****d out the fire to save me. Thankfully because of that lad whose name I can’t remember, I didn’t perish in the flames, little did he know he’d just saved Reading and Leeds 2023 headliner. See you down the front."
Sam will be joined at the two festivals by other acts including Becky Hill, Bicep Live, Wet Leg, Central Cee, Declan McKenna, Don Broco, Steve Lacy, MK, Inhaler, Slowthai, Tion Wayne, Trippie Redd and many more.
