MiNT Festival 2027 has opened its next chapter with a deliberately unfinished poster. The first wave puts Morgan Seatree, Enzo Siragusa, Sidney Charles and Luke Dean B2B MJ Cole into the fields at Newsam Green Farm on May 1–2, 2027, while a row of blurred names makes one thing obvious: Leeds has plenty more to announce.
This is not the final lineup, and the festival is not pretending otherwise. Phase One already covers two days and three distinct areas, moving from stripped-back house and tech-house to UK garage and resident-led sessions. It is a smart first reveal for an event that bills itself as Yorkshire’s biggest dance music festival.

Saturday Starts with House in Every Direction
The Saturday poster spreads its visible names across The Bunker, The Orchard and The Barn. The Bunker has the densest early reveal: Captain Wallop, Lili, L.P. Rhythm B2B Kepler, Rossi. and RTK Tarantino, joined by MiNT residents Annie Errez and Bobby O’Donnell.
That list should suit anyone who wants the weekend to begin with quick transitions, rolling grooves and a crowd that arrives ready rather than warming up for three hours. Rossi. is the obvious pressure point in that column, but the residents matter just as much: they give the festival a local spine instead of making the entire bill feel flown in.
The Orchard and The Barn
The Orchard currently shows Ellia Jaya and Gaskin, with additional slots still concealed. The Barn’s first visible booking is Morgan Seatree, whose rise makes him one of the wave’s clearest attention-grabbers. With unrevealed names around all three areas, Saturday is best read as a framework rather than a completed running order.
That distinction matters when planning. MiNT has confirmed where these visible names sit on the poster, but it has not released set times, and several blurred B2B partners or neighboring acts are still to come. Build a shortlist, not a minute-by-minute itinerary.
Sunday Leans into Established UK Club Names
Sunday’s visible bill has more history in it. The Bunker brings Boss Priester, Dr Banana and Enzo Siragusa together with returning residents Annie Errez and Bobby O’Donnell. Enzo Siragusa is the anchor here: a booking closely associated with the patient, groove-led side of modern house music rather than oversized festival theatrics.
The Orchard adds Cam Stockman, Hidde Van Wee and Sidney Charles. It is a tidy cluster for listeners who like their house muscular but uncluttered. The Barn, meanwhile, moves toward a broader UK club vocabulary with Burnski, Julian Anthony and Luke Dean B2B MJ Cole. That last pairing is the curveball with the most crossover potential: contemporary club energy meeting one of UK garage’s defining names.
What Phase One Tells Us
The festival is programming by room identity. Even before the hidden names are revealed, the poster gives each area a recognizable direction. The Bunker reads as the most direct club space, The Orchard favors house selectors, and The Barn carries the weekend’s loosest genre boundaries.
The residents are not filler. Annie Errez and Bobby O’Donnell appear on both days. That repetition is part of the point: MiNT is selling a Leeds-rooted dance weekend, not a generic touring package with a local logo attached.
There is still substantial room above and between the names. The official announcement explicitly calls this the first wave, and the artwork visibly withholds several acts. Anyone judging the final scale of the bill from this poster alone is judging a construction site.
Planning the Weekend
Register before the first ticket rush. The initial campaign advertises a limited presale on November 4, 2026. Prices and benefits can change by tier, so use the official ticket page rather than resale listings.
Plan the journey as carefully as the lineup. Newsam Green Farm is not a city-centre venue. Keep space in the budget for the official shuttle, a pre-booked taxi or a designated driver, and wait for the festival’s 2027 transport map before choosing accommodation solely by distance.
Expect spring weather to behave like spring weather. A May bank-holiday weekend in Yorkshire can move from sunshine to cold rain quickly. Waterproof footwear and an extra layer will do more for the weekend than another carefully optimized playlist.
Do not lock in clashes yet. The festival has shared day and area placements for the visible Phase One names, but no performance times. More artists will alter the shape of each room.
Four Bookings to Put on the Shortlist
Morgan Seatree is the obvious Saturday marker. His placement in The Barn gives that area an early focal point, and his presence in the first-wave caption shows how strongly the festival is leaning into the new generation of UK house talent.
Enzo Siragusa offers a different kind of draw on Sunday. His sets tend to reward patience and continuity, which makes him especially suited to a room where the crowd can settle into a longer groove rather than chase a succession of quick drops.
Sidney Charles gives The Orchard a proven house name with enough weight to pull people across the site. Pair that with Cam Stockman and Hidde Van Wee, and Sunday’s Orchard column already looks more coherent than many completed stage bills.
Then there is Luke Dean B2B MJ Cole. It is the booking most likely to draw listeners from outside a strict house lane, particularly anyone whose route into club music came through UK garage. The combination also gives The Barn a clear point of difference from the festival’s other spaces.
MiNT’s first reveal works because it leaves a real reason to keep watching. Morgan Seatree, Enzo Siragusa, Sidney Charles, Rossi. and Luke Dean B2B MJ Cole are enough to establish the weekend’s club credentials, while the blurred names stop Phase One from being mistaken for the finished product.
