Joining this year's August Bank Holiday Carling Weekend Reading and Leeds Festival, headlined by The Darkness, White Stripes and Green Day, are these new additions...
‘Big news’ is that on Saturday 28th August at Reading Festival (Sun Leeds) will be 19 year-old blinger, Mercury Music prize winner, garage star with a capital GANG, Dizzee Rascal.
The main stage, however, has gained: on Friday Reading (Saturday Leeds) Reel Big Fish, Taking Back Sunday, Goldie Lookin Chain; on Sat Reading (Sun Leeds) The Roots, My Morning Jacket (Leeds Only), Thursday; on Sunday Reading (Friday Leeds) Dropkick Murphys, The Rasmus, Thrice and Yellowcard. We’ve posted the full line-up on the Forum if you wanna see the whole lot.
And yeah, Reading tickets are now sold out. Plenty left for Leeds tho…
DiScuss: Still feeling underwhelmed? Won’t the Roots be amazing? How can bands with just the one single keep people's attention on the main stage? Who would you add to the bill? Goldie Lookin Chain and the Darkness to perform 'Walk This Way', a joke too far?
