Right now, it’s Molly Payton, who is enchanting audiences with her soulful songwriting. In the preamble to her latest single, ‘I’m Insecure’, Lauran laughs as she tells us, “it’s about my irritable bowel syndrome… girls poo too! Sorry boys!” The cheeky smile and wink in her voice is tangible, and characterises her whole set, culminating in the ultra-buoyant ‘5K (Still Running)’.įrom there, it’s over to our very own stage: Dork Presents! Sprawling across the back of the tent are not one, but two stages, hosting acts back to back, so there’s always good stuff going on. She easily charms her sizeable crowd, not hesitating to treat us like her best friends. Lauran Hibberdcouldn’t be a more fitting opener for Live at Leeds’ first-ever outdoor main stage, decked out in an orange feathered suit to match her technicolour tunes. On Saturday, instead of flooding Briggate and Hyde Park with wavy garms and quickly-crushed cans, fans take to the fields for an indie party that delivers both its usual charm and a step up in magnitude.ĭespite the draw of the “platty joobs” (those two words are mentioned around the fest by artists and fans alike way more times than we care to mention) or the disruption of a Northern Rail strike (another Live at Leeds weekend staple), from the opening of the gates onwards, Temple Newsam is busy and glittering. Except, this time, after a COVID-delayed 2021 event, Live at Leeds has a brand-new summer home – the picturesque grounds of Temple Newsam, for the inaugural Live at Leeds: In The Park.
