Leeds’ Quiet Steps Fest announce final names for 2026 inaugural edition

Beloved and long-dormant Brighton post-hardcore outfit Charlottefield feature amongst the West Yorkshire event’s latest recruits.

Quiet Steps Fest have announced the fourth wave of artists to join the lineup for their forthcoming debut edition.

Today event organisers Dirty Otter have revealed that beloved and long-dormant Brighton post-hardcore group Charlottefield will lead the final round of recruits enlisted to their burgeoning festival’s first outing alongside local acts Patience, when i say heart… and Misting. The announcement signals the end of a lengthy hiatus from Charlottefield who were revered amongst leftfield rock circles throughout the 2000s and shared stages with the likes of Battles, Don Caballero, Foals and The For Carnation before disbanding in 2008. Quiet Steps Fest will take place across two alternating stages housed at Leeds’ Project House on Saturday 18th July with additional previously confirmed performers including BraidCrash Of Rhinos, FaraquetLove Rarely, Pancho, pennines and Tangled Hair.
