What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bradford Council has published a tender request seeking a partner to develop and deliver a new major music festival at Myrtle Park until at least 2029, with a contract valued at £3 million. Separately, Councillor Stephen Place announced plans to bring back the music festival and the Bradford Mela at Lister Park. Bingley Music Live, a previous highlight of the city's cultural calendar, ended in 2018 after running £300,000 over budget.

These cultural investments are part of a strategy to maintain the success of the UK City of Culture designation. In 2022, the council's Executive approved a commitment of £1.423 million per year for five years to support the Bradford 2025 programme and its legacy.
