Reading and Leeds Festival 2009 The Ultimate Rock ‘n’ Roll Weekend Is Back The World’s Greatest Festival Announces Exclusive Headliners It is with enormous pleasure that we announce the return to the live arena of Yorkshire’s favourite sons in a UK exclusive performance, THE ARCTIC MONKEYS, another UK exclusive from one of the world’s biggest bands in the shape of RADIOHEAD and an English exclusive from double Brit winners KINGS OF LEON. Below that triumvirate of rock godheads are a list of bands that read like a who’s who of rock and alternative music. This is the 21st year of the modern Reading Festival since Melvin Benn and his team transformed the event in 1989 and secured its legacy for ever in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. Leeds festival enters its second decade following its ten year anniversary last year and has grown to equal its Southern sibling over that period. Over the years every band worth talking about has graced the stages of the festival and we continue to see rock history written year on year at the dual sites. In addition to the amazing acts confirmed today there is plenty more to come. Look out for a very special announcement on the Radio One / NME Stage soon alongside the cream of the punk and skate scene on the ever popular Lock-Up Stage whilst the headliners of the future will be packed into the Festival Republic Stage. With BBC Introducing giving unsigned and under the radar bands a break at both sites and a host of other late night entertainment, film, comedy and cabaret this is the ultimate weekend for the true music fan. Over 3 days and 150 acts, this is the Reading and Leeds Festival, back again to make the summer worthwhile.

Re: Reading and Leeds Festival 2009 ALL WEEKEND TICKETS SOLD OUT NO FURTHER WEEKEND TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THE EVENT In addition, all day tickets for all days have sold out for The Reading Festival. A small amount of day tickets are, at time of writing, available for all days at The Leeds Festival, priced £70 per day. See Altsounds for details of where to buy these tickets. Melvin Benn, MD of Festival Republic, said of the dual sell out: “This is the 7th year in succession that both events have sold out within 24 hours of going on sale and I am very very pleased of course. The stature of the events have grown and grown each year and this year’s line up only adds to that. However, I must express caution towards all those who will now try to get their hands on tickets in whatever way they can as they do need to be careful of dodgy sites. The only site I can recommend will be viagogo who will at least guarantee anything they sell.” The world famous Reading and Leeds Festival takes place from Friday 28th August to Sunday 30th August 2009. Headliners this year are The Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead and Kings Of Leon. For more details on the bill and further information on the event please visit Altsounds / Altsounds. |
