- Leeds Festival 2024 has thrown open the gates to Bramham Park today for those Early Bird ticket holders (August 21 2024.)
- With more making their way to Bramham Park this week, will the conditions be ideal for setting up camp before the music starts on Thursday?
- Here’s a look at the weather forecast throughout the duration of Leeds Festival 2024, and if hayfever pills are mandatory this year.
The gates to Bramham Park opened moments ago as those Early Bird ticket holders start to set up camp for Leeds Festival 2024 this weekend (August 22 - August 25 2024.)
Being in Leeds right now, the conditions aren’t too bad around this area but certainly, a look to the heavens would indicate that there might be a chance of rain as many make their pilgrimage to this year’s event - headlined by Liam Gallagher, Blink-182 and Fred Again..

We’ve taken a look at the long-range forecast for Wetherby over the next few days to see what the weather is going to be like to hopefully give those making their way to Bramham Park some indication as to when it might be ideal to set up base for the next few days…
… and for those of you who suffer from hayfever this time of year, will the pollen count be kind or will those teary eyes not just be seeing Liam Gallagher perform “Live Forever” on Friday night?
