Millennium Square transformed into a carnival on 4 May as thousands gathered to celebrate Leeds United’s return to the Premier League. A giant screen replayed season highlights, including Manor Solomon’s title clinching strike, while local band Kaiser Chiefs performed their hit I Predict A Riot wearing club colours. Supporters travelled from as far as Dublin and Oslo, waving flags and donning retro kits from the 1990s. City councillors joined festivities, declaring 4 May Leeds United Day. Food stalls sold Yorkshire pudding wraps and blue cream soda, with vendors reporting record takings. Police praised fan behaviour, citing only four minor incidents despite an estimated 60 000 attendance. Community groups organised charity collections raising 27 000 pounds for Leeds Children’s Hospital. Former captain Lucas Radebe sent a video message from South Africa, congratulating the side on reviving the spirit of Don Revie’s era. The climax came when players appeared on a balcony overlooking the square, leading a rendition of Marching On Together that echoed across the city centre. Fireworks painted the night sky, and projection mapping turned Leeds Civic Hall into a giant club crest. The event showcased the unbreakable bond between fans and club, setting a unified tone for the challenges ahead in the top flight.
