Leeds events

Primal Scream, Hercules and Love Affair, Reverend and the Makers, Erol Alkan, Radio 1’s Annie Mac are amongst the amazing line up that’s set to put Leeds back on the music map, this May, with the launch of Wax:On Live Dance Festival.

Taking place against a rolling green countryside backdrop, deep in the Yorkshire Dales, the one day music event will boast a synergy between the old and new of the dance and party scene. Consisting of six mighty music arenas, to cater for every music taste, and fresh from the massive success of it’s monthly club residency in Leeds, Waxon:Live creator Dan Blackledge comments: “Due to the success of the Waxon club night, an all day/night live version seemed the next step.

With so many larger festivals moving down to London, I felt it was the perfect moment to give the people of Leeds and the North a current music event, with a plethora of different artist styles... and Wax:On Live was born.”

Wax:On started life as a monthly club night in Newcastle, fast becoming one of the most popular. Attracting music influentials and celebrities alike Wax:on boasts some of music most cutting edge, hosting artists such as Richie Hawtin, Erol Alkan, Annie Mac, Trevor Jackson and Luciano.
