Leeds Festival here.
The
Reading and Leeds Festivals are a
pair of annual music festivals that
take place in Reading and Leeds in
England. The events take place
simultaneously on the Friday,
Saturday and Sunday of the August
bank holiday weekend, sharing the
same bill. The Reading Festival is
held at Little John's Farm on
Richfield Avenue in central Reading,
near the Caversham Bridge. The Leeds
event is held in Bramham Park, near
Wetherby, the grounds of an historic
house. Campsites are available at
both sites and weekend tickets
include camping. Day tickets are
also sold. Pulp will headline over
The Strokes at Leeds. Mouthwash
pulled out due to the split up of
the band, they were replaced by
Fighting Fiction. The Twilight
Singers pulled out for unforeseen
personal scheduling conflicts, they
have since been replaced by Young
Legionnaire.
The
festivals are run by Festival
Republic, which was divested from
Mean Fiddler Music Group. For
promotional purposes during
1998-2007 they were known as the
Carling Weekend: Reading and the
Carling Weekend: Leeds.
Unsurprisingly, these titles were
seldom used when not required,
although NME did so as part of its
involvement. In November 2007, the
organisers welcomed "Reading
Festival reclaiming its prestigious
name" when the sponsored title was
abolished after 9 years. In ,
the capacity of the Reading site was
87,000 and the Leeds site was
75,000. This was an increase of
several thousand on previous years.
