Leeds Festival live updates including traffic latest, set list times, bar prices and a first look around the main arena

Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic, has issued a statement following the death of a 16-year-old boy who fell ill at Leeds Festival.

He said: "We are truly saddened about this tragedy and our sincerest thoughts are with the family at this time.

“We are working closely with West Yorkshire Police to assist with their investigation and take all reports of incidents where drug use is suspected seriously.

“The safety and wellbeing of all our festival goers is always our absolute priority and we remind all festivalgoers that there is no safe way to take prohibited drugs and there are no safe prohibited drugs."

Police investigating the teenager’s death have said one line of enquiry is that he had taken a particular type of MDMA , also known as ecstasy.

A police investigation has begun after the suspected drugs-related death of a teenager at Leeds Festival.

West Yorkshire Police said the 16-year-old boy’s death was believed to be an isolated incident as no similar reports had been received.

It is thought that he may have taken MDMA before falling ill on Saturday night.

Here’s what we know so far:

A festivalgoer has shared their experience of trying to get a taxi home from the site in Bramham Park, saying they were “absolutely disgusted” by what they had seen.

They accused Uber drivers of inflating fares and demanding cash payments in order to take people home.

The company said “what has been described is unacceptable” and it has a zero tolerance policy on picking up unbooked customers.

Day three has arrived and Leeds Festival remains miraculously rain-free, writes Tom Coates.

The sun is still shining and those in attendance are preparing themselves for a Sunday night dominated by two Yorkshire powerhouses.

Sheffield rockers Bring Me The Horizon will be headlining the Main Stage West at 7.50pm, before their Steel City counterparts Arctic Monkeys grace the Main Stage East at 9.20pm.

The latter did not allow the BBC to stream their Reading Festival set last night, leaving the fans in Leeds awaiting in suspense regarding what to expect.

Their setlist, however, has been reported online and the Leeds Festival crowd can expect a blend of classic favourites and a tease of their new material if it is the same.

Unsurprisingly, two of Sheffield’s favourite sons are generating plenty of excitement.

Our reporter Tom Coates writes: “People are already trying to get into the front pen at the Main Stage East, presumably to secure a spot down the front for Wolf Alice and Arctic Monkeys. This was taken while Fontaines DC were on.”
