You may be surprised to learn that Leeds Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend isn’t the only festival taking place across Yorkshire in 2025.
Spare a thought for some other music festivals taking place across the Yorkshire region that are not merely taking place in Leeds and you soon learn there is a wealth of entertainment coming to areas such as Sheffield, Scarborough and the Yorkshire Dales, with some of which not involving music either - heaven forbid.
For those wanting a little bit of Blues and Americana in your life, the York Blues Festival looks to be your go to, while those looking for a little more refinement have the chance to take in both the Summer and Winter season of events taking place at The Ryedale Festival.
We’ve even included the odd food festival also for the foodies out there chomping at the bit to attend something this year, pun intended.
We’ve taken a look at 23 festivals events taking place in the Yorkshire area throughout 2025 and, while admittedly Leeds, Slam Dunk and Tramlines Festivals are all accounted for, there might be some inspiration to attend something else now some of us are getting a little bit older and less inclined to pogo in the crowd.
Unless you’re attending the Scarborough Punk Festival; then by all means, pogo away!
So what’s caught our attention around the region regarding festivals in Yorkshire? Read on to find out more!
