The popular tradition of open-air music performances in Leeds parks is back, offering residents and visitors alike a delightful way to spend their summer Sundays.
With a schedule packed with some of the finest local brass, jazz, and concert bands, the city’s green spaces will once again come alive with the sound of music.
A Season of Free Concerts
Leeds City Council has announced a lineup of 120 free concerts across 36 parks in and around Leeds, running every Sunday at 2.30pm until the end of September. These events offer a fantastic opportunity for everyone to experience live music in beautiful outdoor settings.
Please note that while most concerts are free, an entry fee per person applies at Lotherton Hall Estate and Meanwood Valley Urban Farm.
Community and Culture
Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for adult social care, active lifestyles, and culture, expressed her enthusiasm about the program:
“It’s fantastic to see such a talented programme of musical acts coming to our wonderful green spaces across Leeds this summer. Music can bring these beautiful locations to life and help visitors to enjoy them in a whole new way, and I’m sure these events will create a fabulous atmosphere in our local communities.”
Audience Appreciation
The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. One attendee of a recent Summer Bands in Leeds Parks concert shared their gratitude: “Thank you for arranging all these wonderful concerts throughout Leeds. This band is great and made everyone happy during their performance.”
