Leeds Festival: Inside swanky backstage area with private bars and luxury dining options

Leeds Festival is well and truly underway with the likes ofChappell Roan and Hozier taking to the stage tonight.

Elsewhere, Sheffield icons Bring Me The Horizon will close the festival on Sunday after up to 80,000 people flocked to Bramham Park for the annual event.

But while the majority of people watch from the main arena and eat and drink at various sites across the park, the Mirror can reveal what those lucky enough to be in the Guest, VIP and backstage areas can do.

For those wanting a drink, whether it be alcoholic or a soft drink, there’s a fully stocked bar where you can purchase everything from a beer, cider, spirits and seltzers and enjoy live music from a DJ set inside the bar tent, all from the comfort of sofas and deck chairs as you soak up the incredible backstage atmosphere.

Elsewhere, there are dedicated food stands if you’re feeling a bit peckish and fancy tucking into some chicken, they can head to Cluck Stuff, and get their hands on rice bowls, loaded chicken and more.

But if you’re wanting a hot drink, head to the dedicated coffee stand for the quick caffeine fix ahead of Chappell Roan and Hozier.

In the Guest Area, you are bound to run into some acts who are performing across the weekend. Just now, I bumped into the Red Rum Club lads (who are hands down one of the best bands from Merseyside).

Scattered around are various Reading and Leeds posters from previous years, showcasing the incredible lineups the festival has drawn in. From the likes of Pulp, Oasis and Stereophonics, to Blur, Green Day, Foo Fighters and Jay-Z.

Headliners over the weekend include Chappell, Bring Me, Hozier and Travis Scott. They are joined by the likes of AJ Tracey, Songer, Becky Hill, Trippie Redd, Enter Shikari.

The Kooks, Rudim3ntal, Lancey Foux, Sea Girls, Bloc Party, Soft Play, The Dare, Mannequin Pussy, DJ Ez, Leigh-Anne, Royel Otis and many more are playing too.

Consistently pushing boundaries, Reading & Leeds bagged the Innovation Award at the UK Festival Awards 2024 for the groundbreaking Chevron Stage.

Redefining what's possible for an open-air venue of this magnitude with unprecedented immersive lighting and stage design, The Chevron Stage heralds a new chapter for Reading & Leeds.

Reading and Leeds Festival takes place Thursday 21st - Sunday 24th August 2025 at Richfield Avenue in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds.
