Stage shakes off alcoholism: Reading and Leeds re-branded
Vinny by Dean Samways July 9th, 2008

With the cleaning up and rebranding of the Reading and Leeds Festival sans-rubbish dishwater alcohol, the new bands tent has gone through somewhat of a metamorphosis.

As of this year the smallest of the stages at the festival formerly known as The Carling Weekend will be called the Festival Republic Tent.

Headlining this stage will be Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, Elliot Minor and The Kills (pictured above).

This year the Reading and Leeds Festivals will take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend of 22-24. More information here.
