Leeds Festival 2022 concluded last night at Bramham Park, with two of Sheffield's finest, Bring Me The Horizon and Arctic Monkeys closing out the proceedings. Adam Kennedy reports.
Oli Sykes and company exploded onto the stage as colourful ticker tape propelled its way into the crowd. BMTH was one of the many heavy rock acts to feature on the final day of the festival.

Alternative artists such as Poppy and Dayglow also made appearances on the main stage throughout the course of the final day of festivities. And if the rockers weren’t your thing, there was plenty of other options on the big stages including hip hop acts such as AJ Tracey, D Block Europe, and De Wayne, to name but a few.
Enter Shikari was a highlight mid-afternoon, with frontman Rou Reynolds encouraging the crowd to dance like nobody was watching, and the audience didn’t need to be asked twice. There was even a surprise appearance from rising stars of the scene Wargasm. Of course, the British dynamic duo feature on the new Enter Shikari single ‘The Void Stares Back’.
Speaking of surprise appearances, Pendulum made their eagerly anticipated return with a secret show early in the evening. The group's pyro-fuelled performance set the BBC Radio 1 Dance Tent wild, as the group rocked fan favourites like ‘Blood Sugar’ to the huge crowd in attendance.
Elsewhere around the festival US-based superstar, Madison Beer delivered a main stage-worthy performance in the dance tent in front of a huge audience. Whilst British indie quartet the Skinner Brothers and hotly-tipped UK rocker Cassyette were some of the stand-out acts of Sunday's proceedings on the Festival Republic Stage.
The latter of which declared that she had been attending the festival for the last ten years. Perhaps dreams do come true for some.
Taipei Houston - the sons of rock legend Lars Ulrich delivered a ferocious set early afternoon. Of course, their father has headlined the event with Metallica in years gone by, and the explosive duo proved that talent certainly runs in the family.
Having already graced the stage of many high-profile events such as Glastonbury Festival this summer, Wolf Alice raised the bar very high during their career-spanning show. Indie anthems such as ‘Giant Peach’ and ‘Moaning Lisa Smile’ perfectly soundtracked the final evening of this year's event.
As the sun went down on another stellar year at Bramham Park, we can’t wait for next year already.
