I'm here with Rachel, who's from Sheffield. What is it that keeps you coming back to Leeds Fest?
00:05
I've covered Leeds for the past 10 years and it's one of my favourite festivals.
00:10
The line-up, the atmosphere, it's just such a good vibe, I just absolutely love it.
00:17
Leeds has the, like I say, it's just got that vibe, that atmosphere, you know,
00:23
like the people, the Yorkshire people. I know people travel from up and down the UK,
00:29
everyone's just really down to earth and it's friendly.
00:32
I guess it's the closest thing we have to a northern edition of Glastonbury.
00:36
Oh, 100%.
00:38
What is it that keeps you coming back to Leeds Festival than every year?
00:41
I think I just love festivals, you know, we have tramlines at home so I do that every year.
00:45
And then Leeds Fest with two headliners, and especially this line-up, it's just amazing.
00:51
It's quite local and close, how did you get here today?
00:54
I got my mum to drive me and my mum's with me now but she's somewhere else,
00:58
don't know where she is at the moment.
00:59
She's gone AWOL.
01:00
Yeah, she's my chauffeur.
01:02
We're with all these lads from Sheffield.
01:04
From Woodhouse.
01:05
Woodhouse.
01:06
What has brought you to Leeds Fest today all the way from Sheffield?
01:11
Just a laugh to be fair, and the ice cream.
01:14
I'll tell you what though, five quid.
01:16
Five quid for an ice cream?
01:18
The wind as well, it's sick.
01:20
I love the wind and the dust, it's awesome, I love it.
01:23
You love the dust in your ice cream?
01:25
I don't know, I paid five quid for it so I'm not dropping it.
01:28
So you've been here for the weekend then, or the day, what's the vibe?
01:31
The day.
01:32
So you really have just come out your way for this then?
01:35
Yeah we have.
01:36
Sick, well thank you guys.
01:37
I'm with this lad from Sheffield, what has brought you here today?
01:40
I've basically come on a volunteering event, so I'm going around helping people,
01:46
if they've got any questions they come up and I show them directions, show them where the events are,
01:51
it's pretty much it, but it's a good time, pretty easy, but yeah, it's good fun.
01:56
So you're on a free ticket then in exchange for working?
01:59
Free ticket, camping, and then yeah, we just come down and we just work I think three days,
02:04
and then we've got a couple of days off.
02:06
How did you make the trek from Sheffield to Leeds Festival today?
02:09
Only Lana Del Rey, that's all we're here for.
02:12
Have you got the day ticket then, weekend?
02:14
We've got the day ticket purely for Lana Del Rey.
02:17
Why else would you come to Leeds Fest?
02:20
Honestly, summertime sadness, I'm going to be singing that one on top of my lungs.
02:24
I'm a die hard Lana Del Rey fan from birth, I know every single song, trust me.
02:29
Any other acts other than Lana Del Rey or is that it, you're just here for Lana?
02:33
If they're lucky then maybe we'll go and see them, but apart from Lana, no.
02:37
What about today, Leeds being in Yorkshire, it's still got that kind of home vibe similar to Sheffield,
02:44
have you found that great yet?
02:47
I've only been here five minutes to be honest, but it's not too long of a trek,
02:51
it seems like a friendly place, everyone here says hi to me, so it's a good festival to go to.
02:56
And did you guys drive here today to get dropped off, what was the vibe?
03:01
We got dropped off just over there, the traffic wasn't too bad either,
03:05
it's about 20 minutes of traffic maybe, it's better than a Why Not Festival traffic,
03:10
I can say that for sure, that was awful.
03:12
So I'm here with these two lovely girls from Doncaster today,
03:16
What's brought you from Doncaster to Leeds Festival?
03:18
Lana Del Rey.
03:19
That seems to be the popular opinion today, everyone's here for Lana,
03:23
what was it like getting here, did you get dropped off, did you get the train?
03:26
We got on the train.
03:27
Leeds is in Yorkshire, a lot like Doncaster,
03:30
do you like that it kind of has that homely, friendly vibe about it?
03:35
Yeah, it doesn't feel like the south, it feels like the north, and northern people are better.
