Veteran independent West Yorkshire promoters Futuresound have announced Live at Tileyard North, a new series of outdoor concerts in Wakefield taking place next summer, with indie rock mavericks the Vaccines named as headliners for the first event on Sunday 30th August 2026.
Nominated for Regional Promoter of the Year at the upcoming 2025 Live Awards; Futuresound have been operating in the region for nearly thirty years and are the trusted team behind large-scale outdoor events such as Live at Leeds, Slam Dunk, Live at York Museum Gardens, Live at Kirkstall Abbey and many more. Futuresound are excited to bring their decades of experience to Wakefield’s Tileyard North for a series of unique performances from musical icons and rising stars alike throughout August 2026.
The Vaccines, Live at Tileyard North’s first announced headliner, will be performing their critically acclaimed 2011 debut album What Did You Expect From the Vaccines? in full to celebrate 15 years since its release as well as a curated selection of hits and fan favourites from across their subsequent five full-length records.
From Zane Lowe declaring their initial 2010 demo of ‘If You Wanna’, eventually re-recorded and released as the third single from What Did You Expect…, as “the hottest record in the world” to sharing stages around the world with the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Rolling Stones; the Vaccines’ ascent has been nothing short of meteoric. The newly bolstered quartet’s sixth record, 2024’s Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations, finds the band at their most refined and reflective; contemplating their original West Coast influences and reinterpreting them through a career that has seen the Vaccines redefine British indie rock.
Live at Tileyard North will bring Wakefield’s first outdoor concert series to life with two weeks of incredible outdoor live music experiences in the courtyard of the impressive Tileyard North development. Futuresound will be sharing more details on the Live at Tileyard North programme very soon. Toby Womack, Promoter - Futuresound Events said:
“At Futuresound, we’ve always prided ourselves on working closely with the communities we promote in; building events, networks and relationships that continue to grow and thrive. We’re so excited to be investing long-term locally in our neighbouring city of Wakefield and we can’t wait to share what else we’ve got planned for Live at Tileyard North.”
Sam Townend, Head of Events - Tileyard North said:
“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Futuresound to launch a groundbreaking new era of live music in Wakefield. This is set to be the biggest event series the city has ever seen, and we’re incredibly proud to help bring these landmark shows to life here at Tileyard North”
