Reading/Leeds – August 24-26

6 May

Starting off this year’s festival previews is the first festival I attended at the tender age of 14; Reading, along with it’s counterpart, Leeds are part of a rare breed of festivals, in which they run at exactly the same time and share the same line-up (alternating days).

This year they have an exclusive, main-stage headline performance from Foo Fighters, along with headline slots from The Cure and Kasabian. Other highlights include performances from; Bombay Bicycle Club, The Maccabees and The Black Keys, as well as Dance Stage headliners; Metronomy, Katy B and Azealia Banks and Lock-up Stage headliners; Social Distortion and Less Than Jake.

Weekend tickets cost £197.50 including camping and can be purchased here for Reading and here for Leeds.
