Design studio Lucid Creates, renowned for creating groundbreaking stages, structures and art installations have tripled the size of their open air venue & AV show, TOGETHER for its second visit to Leeds Festival. First launched in 2021 the large-scale outdoor art installation has transformed the festival’s late night dance area, LS23.

Last year Lucid’s giant, touring AV installation TOGETHER landed in LS23 – creating a 360° experience which saw huge crowds packed together raving underneath the rings until the early hours, deep within the forest.

Now in the latest phase of its evolution, the installation has been expanded by Lucid to compliment the natural landscape of the wooded valley in Bramham Estate. The stage now spans the length of the valley, tripling its 2021 footprint and elevating its impact. The three giant, seemingly floating rings are the foundation for spectacular live visuals which travel up, down and around the arena. Now all 20,000 racers who head down to the valley after dark are encompassed bythe extraordinary light show as soon as they enter the woods.

Thursday saw TS7 (DJ), DJ Semtex, Rei Burgz X Tayo Iku, Tailor Jae and Chloe Sage. Friday, 26th August, saw Hybrid Minds, Koven, (*DJ only), Delta Heavy and Alcemist take to the stage. Saturday, 27th August, Punctual, Meg Ward and Ben Malone owned the area. Sunday, 28th August, Sigma, Luude, Ama, Millie Cotton and Michael Walls closed the stage

LS23 was designed and fabricated by artist studio Lucid Creates, known for creating groundbreaking stages, structures and art installations. Lucid’s specialism lies in producing environments that push boundaries – where audiences and artists connect and converge through tech, music, sound, and visual language. Lucid work across creative fields from stage design to public art and are responsible for designing and bringing some of the largest & most visually exciting festival stages in the UK to life.
