A huge band has been announced as the first headliner for the 2027 edition of the Round Festival.
This summer, the festivities debuted with headline performances coming from Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi. The first plans for 2027 have been announced.
American Express presents Roundhay Festival will welcome a bill-topping performance from Muse on Sunday, June 27. Tickets will go on general sale from 10am on Friday, November 13 – you can buy them from Ticketmaster.
The festival is organised by AEG Presents in collaboration with Leeds City Council. Muse will be joined by Nothing But Thieves as well as other yet-to-be announced artists.
Councillor James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, said: “This festival is a great example of how concerts and other cultural events and celebrations can act as a hugely positive showcase for Leeds. Bringing the music world’s top names to our city and giving them the opportunity to play in the breathtaking setting of Roundhay Park allows us to connect with new national and international audiences, while at the same time supporting the local economy.
“It also gives fans, from Leeds and beyond, the chance to make their own magical memories, just like the crowds who flocked to the park in years gone by for shows by Madonna, U2 and many more. Today’s headliner announcement means the countdown is well and truly on to another special occasion for Roundhay Park and the city of Leeds.
“Local residents and businesses can also be assured that the council, alongside AEG Presents, will be working hard to keep them informed about road closures and the other traffic and travel arrangements that are required for the safe and smooth operation of an event on this scale.”
Jim King, chief executive officer of AEG Presents UK and European Festivals, said: “Following the success of our first year at Roundhay Park, we’re delighted to be returning to Leeds with one of the most incredible live bands in the world. Muse’s legendary outdoor performances and unrivalled production values continue to set the benchmark for live music, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to Roundhay for what promises to be a truly spectacular event.”
