The festival has also announced an update on tickets - and as one day sells out. Here's everything you need to know ahead of this year's blockbuster event at Bramham Park. With little over a month to go, Leeds Festival organisers have revealed the first wave of set times ahead of this year's event at Bramham Park, taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend. After some speculation over the past few months regarding who would headline the Hozier/Chappell Roan day, the Irish performer will close out the main stage, with Roan performing shortly before his set. Meanwhile, Friday's main stage action features a back-to-back-to-back series of hip-hop sets as Travis Scott headlines, followed by D-Block Europe shortly before and Trippie Redd preceding the pair of acts. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Chappell Roan will be among the headliners at this year's Leeds Festival. Over at the Chevron Stage, AJ Tracey, Becky Hill, and Sammy Virji are all set to headline the area, with organisers looking like they have timed this year's event so that there are no clashes between the headline sets across either stage. For example, AJ Tracey's performance on the Chevron Stage concludes at 21:40, with Hozier set to perform on the main stage shortly afterwards. As always, things can (and do) change, so for the most up-to-date set times in the event of an eleventh-hour change, it is strongly recommended to download the official Leeds Festival app, available on both Android and iOS from today. The organisers have also given an update on the current ticketing situation across both the Leeds and Reading sites, too. While there are still tickets available for the festival, those heading to the Reading iteration of the event will have to contend with only two-day ticket options now, as Friday's event has completely sold out. Meanwhile, demand for the new campsite areas this year – The Fields, The Garden, The Meadow, The Glitterball Grove, and The Valley – continues to be overwhelming. So, essentially – don't leave it too late. Here's your set times for Leeds Festival 2025. Leeds Festival 2025 - full list of set times for the Main and Chevron Stages Friday August 22 2025 Main Stage Travis Scott: 9:50PM - 11:20PM D-Block Europe: 8:05PM - 9:05PM Trippie Redd: 6:45PM - 7:30PM Amyl and The Sniffers: 5:30PM - 6:15PM Suki Waterhouse: 4:20PM - 5:05PM Sea Girls: 3:25PM - 3:55PM Waterparks: 2:30PM - 3:00PM Songer: 1:40PM - 2:10PM Demae: 12:50PM - 1:20PM Chevron Stage Sammy Virji: 8:40PM - 9:40PM DJ EZ: 7:00PM - 8:00PM Lancey Foux: 5:45PM - 6:30PM Girls Don't Sync: 4:30PM - 5:15PM Leigh-Anne: 3:20PM - 4:05PM Del Water Gap: 2:25PM - 2:55PM Late Night Drive Home: 1:35PM - 2:05PM Lyvia: 12:00PM - 12:30PM Saturday August 23 2025 Main Stage Hozier: 9:40PM - 11:20PM Chappell Roan: 7:10PM - 8:40PM The Kooks: 5:20PM - 6:10PM Wallows: 4:10PM - 4:50PM Bloc Party: 2:45PM - 3:45PM The Royston Club: 1:45PM - 2:20PM Alessi Rose: 12:50PM - 1:23PM Red Rum Club: 12:00PM - 12:30PM Chevron Stage AJ Tracey: 8:40PM - 9:40PM Rudim3ntal: 6:10PM - 7:10PM Soft Play: 4:55PM - 5:40PM Still Woozy: 3:50PM - 4:35PM Nemzzz: 2:45PM - 3:25PM Badger: 1:50PM - 2:25PM Charlotte Plank: 1:00PM - 1:30PM Good Health Good Wealth: 12:25PM - 12:55PM Sunday August 24 2025 Main Stage Bring Me The Horizon: 9:50PM - 11:20PM Limp Bizkit: 7:55PM - 8:55PM Enter Shikari: 6:30PM - 7:20PM Conan Gray: 5:10PM - 6:00PM Royel Otis: 3:55PM - 4:40PM Good Neighbours: 2:45PM - 3:30PM Alessi Rose: 1:45PM - 2:20PM Lambrini Girls: 12:50PM - 1:20PM Viola: 12:00PM - 12:30PM Chevron Stage Becky Hill: 8:50PM - 9:50PM Jazzy: 7:35PM - 8:15PM Wunderhorse: 6:35PM - 19:20PM Bakar: 5:30PM - 6:10PM Pale Waves: 4:25PM - 5:05PM Example: 3:05PM - 4:05PM Pozer: 2:15PM - 2:45PM Issey Cross: 1:30PM - 2:00PM Blanco: 12:45PM - 1:15PM James and The Cold Gun: 12:00PM - 12:30PM Where can I pick up tickets to Leeds Festival before it's too late?

Couple visit tall ship in Whitehaven Harbour on wedding day
A BRIDE and groom marked their special day with a visit to a tall ship docked in Whitehaven Harbour. Craig Hamilton, 57, and Louise Williams, 41, boarded The Galeon Andalucia on Saturday after exchanging vows at St Mary's Church in Westfield, Workington. Craig Hamilton on his wedding day with sons, Leo and Mikey (Image: Submitted) Craig, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December, proposed to Louise earlier this year during a romantic Valentine's break at the Lodore Falls Hotel in Keswick. The dad-of-three has been diagnosed with Progressive Bulbar Palsy – a rarer type of MND which affects the muscles used for speech and swallowing first. Craig Hamilton and Louise Williams were surrounded by loved ones on their wedding day (Image: Submitted) Craig was a professional golfer for 25 years and went on to build and develop Whitehaven Golf Club. He then worked in car sales before setting up Craig Hamilton Art on Cleator Moor High Street in 2015. Craig met Louise in 2013 when he sold her a car while working for Arnold Clark and the couple live in Workington with their young son, Mikey. Craig Hamilton and Louise Williams with son Mikey on board The Galeon Andalucia on their wedding day (Image: Submitted) They were joined by 130 guests to celebrate their wedding on Saturday - after Craig had enjoyed a round of golf with friends in the morning. Louise wore a dress from Te Amo in Workington and Craig's daughter, Rebecca, was a bridesmaid along with Louise's two sisters. Craig's two sons, Leo and Mikey, walked Louise down the aisle and gave her away. After the ceremony, the couple visited The Galeon Andalucia to take some photos and then celebrated with a party at Whitehaven Golf Club. The Syndicate band played live music and children enjoyed playing on a bouncy castle. Craig even had time for a round of golf on the morning of his wedding day (Image: Submitted) Their first dance was 'Fly me to the moon' by Frank Sinatra, a special song for the couple after going to Leeds Festival in 2017. The fairground ride near their tent played the song all weekend so it stuck with them. Craig said: 'My best man Sean Rudd who's been a close friend of mine for over 30 years did me proud with his speech. It was a perfect all-round day from the weather to all our friends celebrating with us.

Everyone walking past smiled and said congratulations.'

Tom DeLonge says paranormal film he directed ‘way more real than people realise'
US musician DeLonge, 49, who makes his directorial debut, had a fascination with UFOs and the paranormal while growing up. Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 performs at Leeds Festival (Lewis Stickley/PA) He told the PA news agency: 'When I was younger we would go out to haunted houses, and then right after high school, we took a trip up into California, the northern territory of California, looking for Bigfoot. 'One time, we found out that he wasn't where we were at, but we did look for him. 'And so, I've been out to the desert many times (with) my friends, looking for UFOs and shit, you know, you go out there and smoke weed and just like, have fun, but you're still kind of like, 'What if something happens?' 'So this is all shit that I've done… as well as meeting with people from the US government, and weird locations, and having these discussions that you see in the film. 'There's way more shit about this film that's real than people would even realise.' Speaking about the research he did, he added: 'I had some moments of jaw dropping, like world view-changing moments. 'I had other conversations where I was way in over my head and very nervous about what I got myself into, and then I had other conversations that were just absolutely enlightening and changed the way I just think about myself and how I live my life because of it. 'So there's a bit of that in this film, but the enormity of what I've been involved in, personally, is probably for another film later.' The movie was made during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to DeLonge, and was released in US cinemas and on demand in 2023. Monsters Of California is available on digital in the UK from July 7.
