Leeds, Reading Festivals Announce Star-Heavy Lineups
Both festivals take place the same weekend – Aug. 27-29 and feature pretty much the same bands and artists, but on different days. In addition to the aforementioned acts appearing on the main stage, the NME/BBC Radio 1 stage will feature performances by several bands including Pendulum, Enter Shikari and Band Of Horses.
