This year for the first time a very lucky unsigned brand new band will open this famous stage, with the winners of the Futuresound Competition opening the day on Saturday in Reading and Sunday in Leeds.  The band will be chosen from a series of heats played out at the Cockpit in Leeds over the summer.

Many more names are still to be announced including the full line-up for the Festival Republic Stage, BBC Introducing Stage and the Alternative Stage.
