A great Leeds Festival quality has been celebrated and it is something its sister event Reading Festival will never have.
Of course, we are far from impartial here at Leeds Live but you don’t have to take our word for it as Melvin Benn, who heads up both events, has spoken on the matter. Anyone who has ever been will know there’s many differences between the two events - despite being linked.
One major contrast is the location. While the Reading event has a central occasion as opposed to Leeds Festival taking over Bramham Park. Arguably, the Leeds Fest countryside base allows a lot more to happen.
