After last year's cancellation the sense of excitement has been building for months, once the summer spectacular was given the go-ahead and it will all start around midday tomorrow

What will follow will be three days of big name entertainment with the likes of Liam Gallagher, Stormzy, Post Malone and Biffy Clyro likely to provide the highlights for a crowd highly likely to be mad for a party after all that has been denies to everyone since the start of the Covid pandemic.

There are a few changes this year, most notably the addition of a second main stage, which allows for even more top names to make their way to Bramham Park.

Interestingly if everything runs smoothly there will be no time clashes between the headliners of the two biggest stages, allowing eager fans to catch both top of the bill acts on each of the three days.

Times for all the performances have now been revealed and can be seen below.

The opening day sees Oasis legend Liam Gallagher given his first solo artist headline slot at the festival when he appears on the Main Stage East. With Gerry Cinnamon, Wolf Alice and Tom Grennan also taking to the same stage it's a brilliant line-up sure to please.

Main Stage West headliners Biffy Clyro are a late addition to the line-up after Queens of the Stone Age could not make it over from the US and are another crowd pleasing act who have gone down a storm at previous Leeds Fests.

Saturday is a big day for British rap star Stormzy as he plays his first Leeds Festival main stage headline slot and a massive crowd can be anticipated for one of the biggest names in UK music right now.

Catfish and The Bottlemen are leading the line-up on the Main Stage West while an eclectic bill on both of the biggest stages sees the likes of AJ Tracey, Sam Fender, Mabel and Declan McKenna performing.

The final day of the festival has more of a dance music flavour with Post Malone, Disclosure, Slowthai and The Kid Laroi among the acts on show alongside the likes of Sigrid, The Wombats and Two Door Cinema Club.

Comedy, meanwhile, has long been an important part of the fabric of the festival and will bring some highlights on the Alternative Stage over the three days.
