Up to 90,000 people are expected to make their way to Bramham Park, and heavy congestion is anticipated on motorways and major roads in Yorkshire from today.

National Highways chiefs have warned that congestion is likely on the A1M and A64 heading to the site.

This follows a West Yorkshire Police warning that a number of temporary speed restrictions have been put in place around the site with thousands of fans set to gather to watch headliners Chappell Roan, Hozier, Travis Scott and Bring Me The Horizon.

National Highways operations manager Dave Skupski said: "Leeds Festival has a significant impact on traffic on our network. We're expecting the roads to be extra busy, with it also being a bank holiday weekend.

"There are also concrete barrier works taking place, so it could be a very busy bank holiday weekend
