THE ULTIMATE ROCK AND ROLL WEEKENDER

One of the most popular places to be at Reading & Leeds Festival is The Alternative Stage.  The place to laugh, listen and let your hair down – this is the destination for the eclectic side of the festival.    More names have been announced to join the likes of MARK THOMAS, RUSSELL KANE, TIM MINCHIN, HENRY ROLLINS, LEE NELSON, MARK WATSON, RUBBERBANDITS and ANDREW O’NEILL.

ROISIN CONATY was the winner of the Best Newcomer Award at last year’s Edinburgh Festival and she travels from Camden to Leeds for our entertainment.  There’s music from the hotly tipped DRY THE RIVER and PETE AND THE PIRATES, spoken word fused with hip hop from DIZRAELI and film with FUTURE CINEMA in collaboration with THE GUILLEMOTS amongst many other names.

Just some of the artists confirmed for this year’s festival - which takes place on on Friday 26th to Sunday 28th August at Little John’s Farm in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds - include:  MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, THE STROKES, PULP, MUSE, BEADY EYE, JANE’S ADDICTION, 2MANYDJS, THE STREETS, UNKLE Sounds, SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO, MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES, DESCENDENTS, PETER DOHERTY, THE HORRORS, and THE MIDNIGHT BEAST.
