In mid-September, the global company AEG Presents announced that they would be launching a new festival in Roundhay Park at the start of July. While only two of the headliners have thus been revealed (Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi), many are hopeful that Roundhay Festival will become a highlight of
the cultural calendar in the north of England. AEG Presents is responsible for many famous festivals across the globe, such as Coachella, BST Hyde Park, and All Points East. Partnering with the Leeds City Council, they aim to host multiple days of events that embrace the city’s values, encour-
age sustainability, and play host to some of the biggest names in music. With headliners like Lewis Capaldi, an award winning Scottish singer-songwriter, and Pitbull, with over 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the festival is expected to draw in a large audience of potentially up to 70,000 people.
The festival is sponsored by American Express, with customers being able to access presale tickets and exclusive offers. General sale tickets begin on the 8th October, with the organisers recommending using official ticketing agents like Ticketmaster and AXS instead of through secondary sites. There are anti-tout meas-

ures in place to ensure that all tickets are valid and the festival’s official website strongly recommends purchasing tickets through the aforementioned official channels.
