The Leeds Festival is the north sister festival of the reading festival, it always takes place over the August Bank Holiday Weekend. The leeds festivals tends to be rock led, with lots of indie music also. But also rap, and dance also are well catered for. Leeds Festival was added in 1990s. After a successful first year in Leeds, a continued resurgence in the popularity of outdoor music festivals led to the Reading festival selling out more and more quickly every year. The Leeds leg, however, was plagued by riots and violence which led to problems in retaining its licence.[19] The worst of these was in 2002, after which Mean Fiddler moved the festival to Bramham Park, near Bramham north-east of Leeds in 2003.[20] Since then, security at both sites has increased and problems have been reduced. (Although the Bramham Park site presents more challenges to the stage builders, it is far better suited to the needs of festival goers)[21]
