Road closures, traffic restrictions and diversions will affect Leeds, Bramham, Thorner and Aberford during Leeds Festival from August 26 to 31, 2026. The A64 will operate with an eastbound closure and one-way restrictions, while additional closures will affect West Woods Road, Thorner, Aberford and routes around Bramham Park. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes, expect heavy traffic and avoid festival corridors during peak periods. Bus services may be diverted, shuttle buses will connect Leeds and Wetherby with the festival site, and several local footpaths and bridleways will remain closed during the festival build and removal period.

Leeds Live publishes the complete Leeds Festival 2026 timetable for Bramham Park, covering performances across six stages from Thursday through Sunday. The schedule includes major acts such as Kasabian, Florence + The Machine, Chase & Status Live, Charli XCX, Fontaines D.C., Raye and Dave, alongside DJs and emerging artists. The extensive programming means festivalgoers will need to plan around overlapping performances and late-night sets.
