Leeds Rhinos' Headingley Stadium got the city's year of culture celebrations off to a spectacular start on Saturday night. The stadium hosted 'The Awakening' the first of countless events taking place in the city as part of celebrations that will last for the next 365 days.
Hosted by Gabby Logan and Sanchez Pain, attendees were treated to a mix of music, comedy and much more, with Rhinos legend Jamie Jones-Buchanan even getting involved. The Grand Final winning back-rower was joined by Paralympian Kadeena Cox while musical acts included Corinne Bailey-Rae and Chumbawamba frontman Dunstan Bruce.
The Rhinos were active on social media during the event, posting several clips and getting behind the occasion.
