The refresh provides the bustling city centre destination with an improved digital-out-of-home (DOOH) platform to be used by brands and promote the entertainment programme held within the public realm space, which includes its forthcoming ‘Summer Series’ programme of live music performances featuring the likes of Kasabian, McFly, Bastille, Nile Rodgers ft CHIC and many more.
Since the new screen went live at the end of April, the square has already played host to a special King's Coronation screening and a Eurovision Fan Zone – both of which used the high-definition LED platform to show live feeds of the events.
Commenting on the project, Leeds City Council's Events Manager Craig Shackleton said: "The upgrade of the Big Screen in Millennium Square has been fantastic.
"This investment, with funding support from WYCA (West Yorkshire Combined Authority) made available to cities towards the staging of the Coronation and Eurovision 2023 screening events, represents a significant shift in picture quality and supporting technology, and providing a greater opportunity to create and share new and unforgettable visual experiences with our visitors and audiences."
