That’s us told 😳 Lewis Capaldi slams Leeds in hilarious rant over ticket sales! 🤣 The popstar appeared on The Graham Norton Show this week to promote his new tour, and joked about how tickets to his Roundhay Festival Leeds gig were “not selling well” compared to his other dates 😬😆 He suggested Leeds folk buy a ticket “for someone you DON’T like” after addressing the city directly on camera and asking “what the f*** are you playing at”. Lewis Capaldi was the first act announced for the all-new Roundhay Festival coming to Leeds over summer next year. Pitbull and Kesha have just been added to the lineup too 🙌 Capaldi sat on the sofa alongside the likes of Taylor Swift and Cillian Murphy on the BBC One show - after performing his new single ‘Something in the Heavens’. He asked Graham Norton if he could “speak to the people of Leeds” and joked that our pocket of the country seems to “hate his f****ng guts” 😮 We don’t hate you Lewis, honest! 🎥 Credit: So Television | BBC One #leeds #grahamnorton #lewiscapaldi #taylorswift #grahamnortonshow

It looks like Leeds eventually won Lewis Capaldi over! 🤣❤️ This was the definitely the elephant in the room… or should we say park 🐘 It’s hard to forget the Scottish singer’s rant on Graham Norton about slow ticket sales for Roundhay Festival last October. The clip went mega vira, with Capaldi joking that our pocket of the country seems to “hate his f***ing guts” 😮 Well Lewis, that’s not true in the slightest… and the scenes in a packed Roundhay Park said it all 🤩 Capaldi told the crowds “you had me f***ing worried about this one Leeds”, before thanking everyone who had turned out for a memorable second day at the first ever Roundhay Festival 🙌 Were you there? Let us know what you thought of the show! #leeds #lewiscapaldi #grahamnorton #roundhayfestival #leedsgigs 🎥 @rubysteph_ (TikTok)

All aboard the Leeds BARK and ride! 🚌🐶 This is Billy’s Bus - the UK’s first ‘dog bus’ 😍 It’s like doggy daycare… in style! 😎 Founder Laura named the vehicle after her own pup Billy, who inspired her to leave her job, renovate an old school bus and give him a brilliant day out! No crates are allowed… these pooches are living the high life - driven from their front door to the ‘Bark Park’ - a place for all the puppers to stretch their legs and socialise with the other dogs on board! When driving around Guiseley and Yeadon doing pick-ups and drop-offs, local folk even wave at Billy and his pals! And what’s the soundtrack to their travels? Queen’s Greatest Hits 🎶 and a bit of Smooth FM for the tired journey home! Laura hopes to expand @billysbus across the country, recently partnering with social enterprise Bridge Creative in the North East, to support adults with learning difficulties to build skills and confidence while working on board 👏 #leeds #dogs #puppies #dogdaycare #doggo

It’s official… the old Pryzm nightclub in Leeds is being brought back from the dead! Mint XL, from the team behind Mint Warehouse and Mint Festival, will see the 2,500 capacity venue completely revamped 👀 For years, Oceana and then Pryzm were staples of Leeds’ nightlife up at the Merrion Centre 🪩 But since 2024, this huge venue has been left empty and abandoned. The team at Mint says the new venue “represents a significant investment in large-scale club culture”, promising “electronic music events, touring live shows, brand activations, private hire and corporate experiences.” Over at Mint Warehouse, they’ve got one of the UK’s largest LED ceilings… and expect similar vibes at @mintxl_leeds , as they transform the venue, which is three times bigger (capacity-wise) than @mintwarehouseleeds 🤩 It’s set to open in time for Freshers this year - with the official opening marked for Friday 25th September 📅 #leeds #leedscitycentre #leedsnightlife #leedsbars #nightlife #club @merrioncentre @mintfestival

This school in Leeds has a playground like something out of a children’s book! Alwoodley Primary School has GOATS, a fire pit, a sandpit, swings and more 🫨 They’re even allowed to climb trees and push each other round in prams and trolleys! It’s because it’s an OPAL School - which means ‘outdoor play and learning’ is a big priority - and is believed to impact positively on the children’s development. Climbing trees, for example, is said to encourage children to assess their own risk. The goats are called Nico, Nero and Noodle - and roam around freely during breaktime. They enjoy snacking on the playground grass too! 🐐 At ‘Loose Parts’, kids are encouraged to get creative with the spare bits and pieces, whether it’s tyres, wood or cardboard 📦 ‘Let’s Dig’ is a huge area where children can hunt for treasure - and you can keep whatever you find! 🪙 At the Mud Cafe, there’s Grass Masala, Mud Korma and Twig Stew on the menu too 😂 @alwoodleyprimaryschool was recently assessed and received the Platinum Award, which only 1% of OPAL schools receive 🤩 #leeds #leedsnews #leedsschool #playground #alwoodley

Plans revealed for £15 million expansion of Trinity Kitchen in Leeds! Trinity Leeds have announced a reimagined food hall for the shopping centre - it’ll have a new name and will spread across two floors. ‘Freight Island’ will be the venue’s new operators, and their CGI image shows what it will look like - including a striking outdoor terrace overlooking City Square 🤩 The existing floor of Trinity Kitchen will get a refresh too as part of the Freight Island concept - and existing permanent food traders will remain. It’s unclear if rotating food vendors will be a feature of the new food hall. Freight Island first opened in Manchester in 2020, quickly becoming a popular entertainment destination across the Pennines. Council planning chiefs have already approved the @trinityleeds expansion, with construction work beginning in late spring this year. @trinity_kitch will remain open throughout. #leeds #trinityleeds #leedsshopping #leedsfood #trinitykitchen

“Get in, get on your plane, and get on holiday… Leeds Bradford!” 🗣️🤣 Look Jason, we know our city doesn’t have the fanciest airport going… but size isn’t everything right?! Comedian Jason Manford has had a few words to say about our beloved LBA… and we actually think he kinda likes the Yeadon terminal 👀 Manford was in Leeds for the Kirkstall Abbey Comedy Festival, and took to social media not long before jetting off out of the city. He had a lot to say about the hospitality options available to passengers… BUT did give a nod to the shiny new LBA extension that opened last year in a second video (watch until the end)! He wasn’t sure about how much it cost though 😬 It is worth noting that works continue on the airport’s ongoing renovation 🤓 Will we see you flying into Leeds again soon, Jason? ✈️ #leeds #leedsbradfordairport #lba #jasonmanford #kirkstallabbey 🎥 Video: Jason Manford (Instagram)

Thousands of people have now signed a petition against plans to build a Microsoft Data Centre in Leeds 🖥️ Campaigners say there are unanswered questions about the development’s environmental risk, its use of water, and impact on local residents. Microsoft says the concerns “don’t reflect the facts”. The tech giant applied for planning permission to build three data centres and a warehouse across 48 acres of land in east Leeds in 2025. The plans were approved by Leeds City Council planners earlier this year subject to Microsoft meeting a number of conditions. A campaign to stop the development has led to 26,000 signatures on an online petition. The ‘No Leeds Datacentre’ group cites water usage, noise and air pollution as potential major issues. It’s also concerned for the local community. Microsoft disputes many of the campaigners’ figures. A spokesperson told us: 🗣️ “We are in contact with the No Leeds Datacentre campaign to discuss their concerns and claims about energy use, carbon emissions and water consumption that do not reflect the facts. We match all our energy use with renewable energy in the UK and Microsoft remains committed to our goals of becoming carbon negative, water positive and zero waste by 2030.” There are also claims local people weren’t given enough of a chance to engage in a consultation. Microsoft says it invited more than 1,000 nearby residential and business addresses to a consultation event in June 2025. The council says this was publicised via an ad in the Yorkshire Evening Post. 🗣️ A LCC spokesperson added: “The council’s role as the local planning authority for Leeds is a strictly impartial one, with decisions on planning applications being made in line with national planning legislation and policies. The council is also required to have regard to the Government’s recognition of data centres as critical national infrastructure… all relevant matters – including design, scale, landscape integration, highway safety, sustainability and amenity impacts – were given full and proper consideration”. The decision now sits with the Chief Planning Officer. #leeds #leedsnews #datacentr

The decades-old plan to transform an old Leeds railway viaduct into a city ‘sky garden’ 😲 Leeds’ industrial heritage is all around us - and Holbeck Viaduct is a piece of history that might soon get a second life! Discussions about the future of the redundant railway line have been had for many years in the community. The volunteer-led ‘Holbeck Viaduct Group’ (CIC) are not giving up on their idea to regenerate it - creating cycle paths, allotments, public art spaces and more. It stretches over a mile long with the plans supported by the likes of Leeds City Council, the Railway Heritage Trust and Leeds United. The viaduct could be a public walkway from the city centre near to Elland Road if completed! The big stumbling block for @holbeckviaduct though, is funding. Meanwhile, the team are now searching for more volunteers to join their board of CIC directors - if you have skills and experience to bring to the project, get in touch! What do you think of the plans? Let us know! 🗣️ #holbeck #leeds #leedsunited #lufc #leedscitycentre

Cheeky 5k run around the Leeds Fest campsite anyone? 🤯🏃‍➡️ This group of festival campers have been meeting up in the early morning for the Leeds Festival run club! Whether you’re doing it for the Strava kudos or want some exercise after a heavy night, anyone can come down and brave the two laps around Blue Campsite ⛺ It was started by Sport In Mind, a sports mental health charity - they’re encouraging people to get those endorphins before a big day of music in Bramham Park. Content Creator Lee Mutemi has joined forces with the charity for the run club’s Saturday session! It’s on every morning, meeting at 9:30 near the campsite entrance! Fancy giving it a go? 🤔 @sportinmind @leemutemi #leeds #leedsfest #leedsfestival #runclub #strava
