Rising stars set to take the stage in Leeds

    Leeds's home-grown musicians will have the chance to take to the stage on Millennium Square in a brand new showcase for the city’s talented and emerging artists.

    For the first time ever this summer, the Music:Leeds - Live in the Square event will give artists from across Leeds and surrounding areas the chance to perform in one of the city’s biggest outdoor venues in August.

    Artists, musicians, DJs and bands who want to be part of the event on the square are being asked to send in their music to be considered by Music:Leeds’s Launchpad team by 19 June.

    The free festival takes place on 3 August.
