Neil Hamburger, Dan Nightingale, Carl Barat, and Jon McClure

Thursday 19th August 2010


Neil Hamburger, and Dan Nightingale have been adds to the line-ups on the Alternative Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival.

Reverend And The Makers
The creation of Gregg Turkington Neil Hamburger has been added to the Reading bill, whilst Dan Nightingale, and Inel Tomlinson appear on The Alternative Stage at Leeds.

'Instigate Debate' the counterculture project formed by a collective of musicians and journalists including Carl Barat, and Jon McClure has also been added to the line-up at both events. They have argued all over the UK including at the Oxford Union, expect a diverse panel of guests will discuss political points from across the spectrum, expect passion and forthright debate. Speakers and artists will be confirmed at a later date.

Also announced for Leeds is 'Kick Ass' the 2010 British superhero film based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. which will be screened in The Alternative Stage at Leeds this year. Showing at both sites will be 'The Doors: When You're Strange' narrated by Johnny Depp and 'Suck' a rock and roll vampire thriller directed by Rob Stefaniuk and filmed in Toronto. Suck follows the tale of hapless rock band The Winners who tour the US and Canada chased by a Vampire Hunter who is afraid of the dark. Featuring rock legends Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins and, er, Moby.

Reading Festival happens at Little Johns Farm, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, and Leeds Festival, at Bramham Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, both happen from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th August.

Guns N' Roses are joined on headlining duty by Arcade Fire, and Blink 182 at both festivals. Also appearing on the main stage over the weekend are 'special guests' The Libertines - at Reading on the Saturday, and at Leeds on the Friday.

The line-up also includes Queens Of The Stone Age, Biffy Clyro, Lostprophets, Nofx, Gogol Bordello, Billy Talent, Dizzee Rascal, The Cribs, Modest Mouse, The Gaslight Anthem, Paramore, Weezer, Cypress Hill, Limp Bizkit, You Me At Six, All Time Low, LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, Delphic, Yeasayer, The Big Pink, Two Door Cinema Club, Pendulum, Enter Shikari, Crystal Castles, Frank Turner, Klaxons, We Are Scientists, Foals, Band Of Horses, Kele Okereke (Bloc Party), and The Drums.

Festival organisers are warning ticket buyers to NOT use fake ticket selling sites. Make sure any tickets you buy are legitimate. eFestivals always links to official ticket outlets (and doesn't host adverts for unofficial outlets unlike other festival websites!) so you can be sure that any ticket bought via eFestivals will get you into the festival of your choice. Do not purchase tickets from unofficial or secondary ticket outlets or auction sites as they often are unable to supply the tickets, and might not even give you a refund - there's lots of dodgy operators out there!
