Rap legend Kendrick brought his melodic ability and intelligent lyricism to the people of Leeds, who couldn’t get enough of it.

The stage lit up with a huge bang and a stream of white lasers as he appeared with huge tune ‘DNA’. He then descended into darkness before the beat dropped and he picked up the pace, the speakers literally shaking.

Despite barely moving, Kendrick’s incredible stage presence was undeniable as his rapping talent spoke for itself. Fans watched in awe as he performed classics like ‘Swimming Pools’, and the crowd moved in unison. ‘m.A.A.d city’ was a fan favourite and the entire crowd put their flashlights in the air for slower song ‘PRIDE.’

Kendrick ended his set with his huge track ‘Humble’, which he mainly sang a capella in a magical moment where the crowd sang along as loud as they could.

In true headliner style, Kendrick appeared for one last song, ‘Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe’ and the cheering didn’t stop. He told fans: “Remember these words — I will be back.”

A fantastic end to a fantastic weekend on the Main Stage.
