London lady Kate delivered her indie pop with the charm and wit we’ve come to associate with the multi-talented advocate of all things liberal and good.

Debut album ‘Made of Bricks’ (2007) was the catalyst for Kate’s musical journey — and it’s incredible to think Kate used Kickstarter to fund her fourth studio album having been an independent artist for 5 years now. This partly explains the crazy levels of love from her fanbase, and that adoration was expressed tonight by the crowd, particularly the pocket of hardcore fans at front and centre!

The sparkly backdrop on stage matched a sparkling performance from Kate as she opened with ‘Life In Pink’ with strong girl power vibes. She continued through a mix of old and new material, from acoustic track ‘Sister’ to new single ‘Hate You’.

Legendary hit, harking back to the old school, ‘Foundations’ was, of course, a highlight and just as well-received and relevant almost 10 years down the line from its release. The crowd at that point provided one of the best sing-a-longs of the weekend before a slick guitar solo played out the track.

Altogether an eventful evening, no one left with a ‘bittah’ taste in their mouth as Kate and her band sang ‘Dirty Dancing’ classic ‘Time of my Life’ with the crowd before waving goodbye. The good vibes were palpable.

Rap legend Kendrick brought his melodic ability and intelligent lyricism to the people of Leeds, who couldn’t get enough of it.

The stage lit up with a huge bang and a stream of white lasers as he appeared with huge tune ‘DNA’. He then descended into darkness before the beat dropped and he picked up the pace, the speakers literally shaking.

Despite barely moving, Kendrick’s incredible stage presence was undeniable as his rapping talent spoke for itself. Fans watched in awe as he performed classics like ‘Swimming Pools’, and the crowd moved in unison. ‘m.A.A.d city’ was a fan favourite and the entire crowd put their flashlights in the air for slower song ‘PRIDE.’

Kendrick ended his set with his huge track ‘Humble’, which he mainly sang a capella in a magical moment where the crowd sang along as loud as they could.

In true headliner style, Kendrick appeared for one last song, ‘Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe’ and the cheering didn’t stop. He told fans: “Remember these words — I will be back.”

A fantastic end to a fantastic weekend on the Main Stage.

The band previously played Leeds festival in 2006, off the back of their double platinum debut album ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’. Frontman Brendon Urie acknowledged mid-set that this time was infinitely better, and we can’t argue with that!

There was a rapturous applause from those present for the award-winning band, now on their sixth studio album, ‘Pray for the Wicked’, released in June of this year. Tonight, frontman Brendon Urie, no stranger to any stage, reiterated to the masses what a natural-born performer he is.

He was astoundingly outstanding (that doesn’t even do the man justice).

Channelling his inner Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury, he wowed the crowd with incredible vocal range and versatility. Whether it was throwbacks to the band’s emo roots or the soulful and ever-changing new style, the sizable band behind Urie were exceptional, from brass to strings.

Oddly enough, we had another band paying homage to British favourites, Queen (after Sum 41 earlier today). Brendon and the band produced an exceptional cover of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, and it was arguably the closest to the real deal we will ever get! It was honestly worth being there for that alone.

‘I Write Sings Not Tragedies’ was an obvious highlight for all present, with it being the song that “got it all started for Panic! At the Disco”. As the song broke down to more isolated vocals, you became aware of just how huge the chorus of people singing was.

The band closed their set with glorious ‘Victorious’ to masses of fireworks, which always live long in the memory.

People spilled out of The Pit to watch the chaos as the tent erupted to ‘For The Last Time’. It wasn’t long before the stage was overflowing with fans enjoying the heavy rap, throwing up ‘three’ signs and moshing along.

Ruby da Cherry and Slick Sloth worked the crowd with both their musical and production skills, showcasing thoughtful lyrics, dark beats and raw energy.

The duo called for a ‘wall of death’ during ‘Memoirs of a Gorilla’ and the fans were quick to oblige.

Tonight $uicideboy$ showed they have a lot of talent and a strong fanbase which will keep them going for a long time to come.

They didn’t put on a show, they put on a party — and were the most gracious of hosts!

The group have a mass of songs since forming in 1999 originally as duo The Neptunes, containing legendary industry figure Pharrell Williams and buddy Chad Hugo. Their performance — backed by a live band — appealed to fans of all genres as they drew upon elements of rock, funk, hip-hop, R&B and pop in a varied and historic set.

Tantalising tracks ‘She Wants to Move’, ‘Lemon’ and ‘Rockstar’ were arguably the songs everyone wanted to hear, and they weren’t left wanting! The crowd was more than up for the party as Pharrell incited some healthy competition between opposing sides of the stage, which is always fun.

Lots of people in the crowd were ticking off seeing N.E.R.D from their bucket lists, and it was a real privilege to witness the renowned musicians in the UK.

No-One Ever Really Dies, and neither will N.E.R.D’s music! Timeless.
