The Scandal
The Scandal is a three piece indie/rock band. The band takes much inspiration from the earlier era of rock, and incorporates this with modern day rock / indie style which brings out driving bass lines along with defined guitar and rhythms , complete with catchy vocals that complement each other.
Benson
A brass driven alternative indie band, Benson are excited to be hitting the British music scene. They are quickly gaining a reputation for their energetic live shows and catchy tunes. In a time when too many bands perform their music to people and don’t necessarily entertain the audience, Benson are just trying to make people enjoy themselves, dance and smile!

The bands will be performing between 12:30 and 4:30 on the Leeds Music Trust stage, near the Beeston Road end of the Cross Flatts Park. Beeston Festival runs from 12:00 on Saturday 9th June.
