LeeFest will be on the 12th, 13th and 14th July next year, organisers have revealed. 2013 marks the first year that the grassroots event will take place over three days.

Recently honoured as ‘Best Independent Festival’ at the AIM Independent Music Awards 2012, LeeFest has grown steadily since its creation in Lee Denny’s back garden 7 years ago.

The 25 year old, last week named by Time Out as one of the 100 most influential creative individuals in the UK, continues to run the event as part of a large team of volunteers:

‘We’ve come a long way very quickly and feel ready to take the next step – an extra day to the party!’

The non-profit festival has also announced its continued support for the charity Kids Company in 2013.

Weekend super-earlybird tickets are £45 for the weekend, and on sale next Monday 26th November at 9am. 

Earlybird tickets will be £55; a standard weekend ticket is £70.
