Popworld Is Coming To Leeds

 
Calling all cheeky girls, Venga boys and dancing queens! Everyone’s favourite spot for cheesy tunes is bringing the best of the 90’s and early 00’s pop to Leeds this summer.

Popworld’s first ever festival is coming to Millennium Square Leeds on Saturday 1st August
Acts include Peter Andre, 5ive, DJ Sammy, Fatman Scoop and S Club
7 acts with ten number 1 hit singles
Expected crowds of 4999 people plus you.

If all you ever wanted was to relive the 90’s/early 00’s golden era of pop, and you never had a dream come true before, now is the chance to bring it all back with the first ever Popworld Festival.

Cha cha slide your way over to Millennium Square Leeds on Saturday 1st August where Popworld will be bringing everything you love about them, plus seven iconic acts, to the stage.

Put your hands up and lose control to Fatman Scoop, sing-a-long to all the S Club classics and keep on movin’ all night long to the boys from 5ive!

Off the back of his sell out 2019 tour, Peter Andre will be performing all his biggest hits, including everyone’s favourite ‘Mysterious Girl’.

The comic from your childhood and Yorkshire native turned killer DJ, Paul Chuckle of the Chuckle Brothers, will be bringing a non-stop set absolutely packed with pop anthems!

And who could forget an appearance from the duo once named ‘the worst pop act ever’ by Pete Waterman, the Cheeky Girls! Shows what he knew - with four top 10 hits and their iconic high energy performances, the audience are in for a pop-tastic night.

The one-day festival runs from 5:30pm till 10:45pm, but the night doesn’t stop there, with the official Popworld Festival after parties at Popworld Briggate Street, Popworld Cookridge Street and Walkabout, Woodhouse Lane keeping the party going.
