Bradford Literature Festival will this year invite King Midas Sound, Lady Leshurr and Saul Williams to play live at the city's newly renovated St. George's Hall.

The three acts will play as part of the festival's flagship music showcase across one night on July 5, with the three presenting their varying forms of lyricism in line with the event's focus.

Lady Leshurr's performance will take in music from across a number of mixtapes as well as her Queen's Speech series of freestyles, while Saul Williams will bring with him more than two decades spent fusing rap and slam poetry in his output. King Midas Sound will be playing off the back of their album Solitude which was released on Valentine's Day of this year.
