In November 2007, the organisers welcomed "Leeds Festival reclaiming its prestigious name" when the sponsored title was abolished after 9 years. In 2007, the capacity of site was 70,000. This was an increase of several thousand on previous years. The Leeds event is held in Bramham Park, near Wetherby, the grounds of an historic house.
