The exciting names announced for late-night Leeds Festival stage

We're now well on the way to Leeds Festival 2019, with a host of big name acts scheduled to play at Bramham Park over Bank Holiday weekend.

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters will be back once more, with Post Malone, Twenty One Pilots and The 1975 making up the other headline acts.

The lineup has been completed for a fair few weeks now, yet fans will be happy to hear that a few more surprise acts have been added to the bill for the Alternative Stage.

To celebrate 15 years of award-winning music company Transgressive Records, the company will take over the Alternative Stage, with big acts Let's Eat Grandma and Mystery Jets announced.

A Beyonce VS Drake DJ party has also been planned, and plenty of other acts will perform.

Speaking on the latest announcement, Transgressive co-founder Toby L said: "To mark our 15th birthday year, we are now able to announce our return to Reading & Leeds, the ultimate climax to the summer.

"We've pushed the boat out this year, bringing Transgressive alumni Mystery Jets and Circa Waves along for the weekend, not to mention current stars Let's Eat Grandma.

"We've also gone big on the Sunday, to ensure the party doesn't slow down - Steel Banglez is one of the biggest pop crossover names of recent times and will keep things moving right until the bitter end.

"And what the hell, we're also going to throw a Beyonce versus Drake set straight afterwards, just two sets of DJs and hosts/MC’s dishing out the biggest jams from their respective catalogues. Bring on the August Bank Holiday weekend."
