Leeds has one of the UK's newer city-centre arenas, the First Direct Arena, which hosts arena tours and comedy within walking distance of the station. Elland Road is home to Leeds United, Headingley stages cricket and rugby league, and the Leeds Grand Theatre and O2 Academy Leeds cover theatre and smaller gigs. Leeds Festival is held at Bramham Park outside the city over the August bank holiday.

Because the arena is close to the city centre, most visitors walk from Leeds station. Times shown are UK local time.

We found at least 33 upcoming events in Leeds, with tickets from $68.
