Leeds Summer Solstice 2025

Across the globe, Summer Solstice is marked by traditions ancient and sacred. At SAA-uk, we welcome the return of the sun through music — immersive, transformative, and timeless.

This year marks a milestone 14th anniversary of gathering from evening till dawn, united by humanity, music, and Summer's promise of days soaked in light and hope.

Surrendering to rhythms as old as time itself while inviting along contemporary expressions, Summer Solstice is a melting pot of the old, the new, and the future of music.

The Overtones Double Show

The No1 Vocal Harmony Group have racked up multi-platinum record sales, released six studio albums and sold out 11 National Tours – firmly establishing them as ‘One of the UK’s most popular and prolific live acts’

They have headlined many of the most prestigious venues including The London Palladium and The Royal Albert Hall, achieving standout performances at The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at Buckingham Palace and singing to over one million people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.  

Sunny Afternoon

Following a phenomenal two years in the West End and a sensational first UK and Ireland tour, the ‘indisputably terrific’ (Times) Olivier Award-winning best new musical, charting the euphoric highs and agonizing lows of The Kinks, is back!

Sunny Afternoon celebrates the raw energy, passion, and timeless sound of one of Britain’s most iconic bands, telling their story through an incredible back catalogue of chart-toppers, including You Really Got Me, Lola, and All Day and All of the Night.

The Mersey Beatles

Back by popular demand! Fans of The Beatles prepare to be wowed by the world’s favourite Liverpool-born tribute to the Fab Four.

The Mersey Beatles have been rocking sold-out shows around the globe since 1999 with their truly authentic and widely acclaimed celebration of John, Paul, George and Ringo.

The band – who clocked up more than 600 appearances in a 10-year residency at Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club – brilliantly exude the inner and outer spirit of the original Fab Four.

Boo Hewerdine

For over 30 years Boo Hewerdine has been considered one of the UK’s finest singer-songwriters.

As lead singer of seminal band The Bible, through to his subsequent solo work and long-time collaboration with the incredible Eddi Reader, he has become something of a national treasure.

Harry Cambridge as Luther Vandross

The ‘Stars in their Eyes’ winner recreates the finest soul singer of the 80’s and 90’s; his tribute to the great Luther Vandross repertoire includes all his hits such as, ‘Never Too Much’ ‘Dance With My Father’ and ‘A House Is Not a Home’ as well as songs from Lionel Richie, the Four Tops and other soul and motown legends.

Crater Lake presents: Kou / GGHED / Ashtray Navigations / Vicky Sparrow

Kou - “Broken art-folk dreamscapes from the mystery crew behind that beloved Nina Harker LP. Cats purr, sleepy vocals drift, and warped drum machines stumble through surreal, Lynchian terrain. ThinkFaust Tapes meets Blue Moonvia detuned brass, droning organs, dada pop, and stoned vocal experiments. Echoes of 70s/80s Euro art-prog (Battiato, Pierot Lunaire), 90s US surrealism (Bongwater, Royal Trux), and damaged DIY folk. It’s a bewildering, brain-rewiring trip—brief, brilliant, and beautifully strange.” – All Night Flight
