With under six weeks to go to this year’s READING & LEEDS FESTIVAL two new acts have been added to the bill.

LITTLE ROY cut his first single at the legendary Studio One in 1965 and grew up in Kingston surrounded by many of Jamaican music’s biggest hitters – Prince Buster, Lee Perry, Bunny Wailer & Peter Tosh.   However his newest project is what brings him to the festival this year – an incredible album called ‘Battle For Seattle’ which sees him record 10 Nirvana songs in a reggae style.  Already a hit on YouTube, this very special artist will make an exclusive festival appearance debuting this special set. With the legendary live documentary of the band filmed at Reading 92 being shown on The Alternative Stage both events will be a fitting tribute to the band 20 years after the release of ‘Nevermind’.

Also joining the bill are YOUNG LEGIONNAIRE. This is what they say about themselves “Fused by a love of detuned guitars, maths formulas and brutal volume, Young Legionnaire are three of your favourite musicians moonlighting from their day jobs in a wash of riffs, decibels and beats. Responsible for the noise are Bloc Party's Gordon Moakes, yourcodenameis:milo/The Automatic's Paul Mullen, and La Roux/Brontide's William Bowerman. Bring earplugs.”   You’ve been told …
