Party in the Park, Leeds was an annual free event, held in
Leeds
on the grounds of

by
Leeds City Council
and
96.3 Radio Aire
.

[3]
It took place each year the day after
Opera in the Park
at the same location and attracted around 70,000 people.
[4]
The event started in 1994 and was headlined by
Bad Boys Inc
and included performances by
E.Y.C.
[5]
In 2011, tickets for Party in the park were prioritised for people with a Leeds postcode since it was an event held by Leeds City Council and also had overwhelming demand for tickets from all over
West Yorkshire
.
[6]
It was decided in 2013 by Leeds City Council that the tickets would no longer be free due to budget restrictions. Instead, they would be priced at up to £10 each.
[7]
Finally in 2014, Leeds City Council and 96.3 Radio Aire announced that Party in the Park would be cancelled due to a lack of funds. The concert has not returned since.
