This weekend marks 25 years since Leeds joined Reading to form one of the UK’s biggest and most iconic music festivals. BBC News speaks to festival-goers and artists to explore its impact.

Taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, it became a two-site festival in 1999 with the addition of the north location. However, its origins in the south date back to the 1950s.

Since its introduction, Leeds has hosted an ever-evolving blend of some of the biggest rock, hip-hop and pop artists from around the world while also championing local talent.
