"Yorkshire has a lack of such an event and Airstream Events curated The List Fest to fill this gap.

"They have more of a laid-back environment targeted towards an age range that wants to be more comfortable around similar age ranges, and have access to great music, food and entertainment all within one safe area. The List Fest is exactly that."

The event will bring together jazz, funk, soul, world music, along with disco, house and electronica.
