Confirmed for the inaugural
festival is a fantastic line-up of amazing artists including the
multiplatinum-selling James, fresh from their triumphant set at Glastonbury.
Their new album ‘Girl at the End of the World’ surged to number two in the
album charts earlier this year. The ‘Sit Down’ and ‘She’s A Star’ group will
co-headline alongside Scottish rock legends Primal Scream, who’ve had another
incredibly successful year with the release of their new Top 20 album
‘Chaosmosis’ and a string of critically acclaimed live performances.
London four-piece Wolf Alice are
undoubtedly one of the breakthrough bands of the past year. Having successfully
torn up the indie rulebook, combining candyfloss melodies with a stridal grungy
edge, the Brit and Grammy-nominated band will be sure to thrill the OnRoundhay
audience. Iowa’s Max Jury promises to delight fans with his heartfelt, country
tinged and perfectly executed indie-pop. Leeds 7-piece The Haggis Horns will
bring a live funk extravaganza; combining funk, soul and hip-hop guaranteed to
get the crowd grooving. With more acts to be announced, OnRoundhay is already
shaping up as the must-go to event on the Yorkshire calendar.
Working in partnership with Leeds
Indie Food, the John Lewis Food Village will make its OnRoundhay debut, packed
with dining experiences, demonstrations, celebrity chefs, pop up stalls and
street food to whet any appetite. A feast of tastes and cuisines will be on
hand all day to accompany the world-class line-up of music and entertainment.
Puffin World of Stories will bring
a unique and magical experience to entertain children of all ages with some of
Puffin’s most adored and iconic book characters. The world Puffin will create
includes a Magical Storytelling Stage with live storytellings and shows
including CBeebies favourites The Clangers and The Wimpy Kid Show, a must for
Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans and great family entertainment, including a Wimpy Kid
Draw-Along and Wimp Wars! Quiz. Against the picturesque backdrop of Roundhay
Park, the Village Green Sports Day will offer book-themed delights such as egg
and spoon races and sack races, there will be prizes for kids who come dressed
as a book character and arts and crafts activities to enjoy. Children will also
have the opportunity to meet favourite characters from the wonderful world of
Puffin including Spot the Dog and Peter Rabbit.
Working closely with Leeds County
Council; OnRoundhay will offer the local community a memorable experience,
bringing live entertainment back to the historic green space of Leeds Roundhay
Park. OnRoundhay will be the first large scale event of its kind since Robbie
Williams performed there 10 years ago. Legendary promoter Harvey Goldsmith
previously promoted gigs on the site with the likes of Madonna, The Rolling
Stones and Bruce Springsteen.
Harvey Goldsmith CBE added, “I am
really pleased to be back presenting a show in Roundhay Park.
3 years ago we created with John
Lewis a brand new style of Festival called OnBlackheath, this was universally
received by artists, performers and the public. We are delighted to be able to
extend this brand by producing the first OnRoundhay Festival with John Lewis as
our partner. The event will follow the same format as OnBlackheath, with
fantastic music, great curated food and lots of activities for kids of all
ages. I would like to thank Leeds City Council for their help in making
OnRoundhay happen.”
Councillor Judith Blake, Leader of
Leeds City Council, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming the OnRoundhay
Festival this September to our very own Roundhay Park, which over the years has
hosted concerts by some of the world’s biggest and most iconic artists. It is
fantastic therefore to see live music back at Roundhay Park, and to see John
Lewis who are opening a new flagship store in Leeds, playing a part in the
city’s wider cultural offering.”
Rachel Swift, Head of Brand
Marketing for John Lewis said, “'We are delighted to bring the unique mixture
of great music, outstanding food and all round family fun that has made
OnBlackheath such a success to the people of Leeds and the beautiful setting of
Roundhay Park. We believe there's no
other festival like it and we are proud that John Lewis has been an integral
part of its success”
