subject: Leeds Festival Tickets | Leeds Festival 2011 Tickets | Leeds Festival Line Up Announced [print this page] The Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals that take place in Reading and Leeds in the United Kingdom. The events take place simultaneously on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend, sharing the same bill.
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.
The Reading Festival, the original and senior leg of the two, is the world's oldest popular music festival still in existence. It has had various musical phases over the years, as detailed below. In the twin-site era, rock, alternative, indie, punk and metal have tended to dominate.
The initial line-up announcement was made on Monday 29 March 2010, shortly after tickets went on sale. On 16 August 2010, it was confirmed that Guns N' Roses, Arcade Fire and Blink-182 would headline the main stage, with Lostprophets, Queens of the Stone Age, The Libertines, Paramore, LCD Soundsystem, Billy Talent, Biffy Clyro, Pendulum, Weezer, Klaxons, Modest Mouse and Frank Turner also playing over the weekend.
Guns n' Roses have been confirmed as the Sunday night headliner.
Blink-182 will take the Saturday slot and like fellow US rock behemoths Limp Bizkit both will be making their first UK appearances, at the three-day Braham Park festival, since re-forming.
Also burying the hatchet are Pete Doherty and Carl Barat who are promising the Libertines reunion will actually take place on the Friday evening.
Wakefield's very own likely lads, The Cribs, will take the Saturday teatime main stage slot as they return to the festival circuit . And Arcade Fire will be the main stage headliners on Friday night.
Queens of the Stone Age, Biffy Clyro and Lostprophets will precede Guns n' Roses on a rock-heavy Sunday evening and more acts are set to be announced.
