For the first time in York, the rising Brazilian star presents his globally acclaimed solo concert, which has sold out in many venues in the UK.
Leo Middea was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1995 and currently resides in Barcelona, Spain. He is a singer, composer, and instrumentalist. Over his 10-year career, Leo has released five studio albums, each reflecting different phases of his life and career: Dois (2014), A Dança do Mundo (2016), Vicentina (2020), Beleza Isolar (2020), and Gente (2023), and has given over 300 performances in 16 countries - with 100 of them taking place in 2024 alone.
Leo is reinventing Brazilian music by blending traditional genres with influences from diverse cultures. His music has garnered over 10 million plays on Spotify, and his captivating performances have sold out concert halls across Europe and Brazil. In 2024, he achieved second place in the traditional Portuguese Song Festival, becoming the first Brazilian to reach the final. Leo is currently working on his sixth album, featuring songs recorded live in different parts of the world.
In February 2024, he toured the UK for the first time, stopping in London, Bristol, and Frome. He performed three consecutive sold-out shows in London and also sold out in Frome. In September 2024, he continued his tour in London, Manchester, Oxford, Brighton, Bath, and Weston Super-Mare. Each of his shows once again achieved sell-out status, drawing more than 1,000 attendees.
