AEG Presents Plans Major New Festival in Leeds 2026

AEG Presents is launching a major new music festival, American Express Presents Roundhay Festival, set to debut in summer 2026 at Roundhay Park in Leeds, England. The festival aims to become a key cultural event in northern England, featuring headline performances from world-renowned artists alongside free midweek community activities. Roundhay Park, one of Europe's largest city parks, has a rich history of hosting legendary performers such as The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Ed Sheeran. The event is in partnership with Leeds City Council and is expected to boost the local economy by engaging local suppliers, employing local staff, and increasing spending on accommodation and entertainment. A partnership with Roundhay School will also provide students with opportunities to gain skills and insight into the live music and event management industries. AEG Presents, known for organizing London's BST Hyde Park and All Points East festivals, emphasizes their commitment to sustainability and delivering high-quality festival experiences.
