New Announcement

[therefused]

JUST ADDED: We are pleased to announce that Little Roy and Young Legionnaire have been added to the Festival Republic Stage! - official reading facebook

young legionnaires are a band ive heard a bit about, so might check them out depending on clashes. no word on what days yet for these though.

Interesting...Young Legionnaire were added to the line-up page a couple of weeks ago on the Peter Doherty day leaving a space on the Midnight Beast day, and a band called Our Fold are on the poster but not on the line-up page. It appears then that there's two bands (Little Roy and Our Fold) to fit into one slot, so either one of them isn't playing or it'll be starting at 11:30 on two days instead of just the Horrors day.

With under six weeks to go until the twin festivals, organisers have confirmed that Jamaican reggae artist Little Roy will showcase his album 'Battle For Seattle' which features 10 Nirvana songs in an exclusive festival appearance debuting this special set. With the legendary live documentary of the band filmed at Reading 92 being shown on The Alternative Stage both events will be a tribute to the band 20 years after the release of 'Nevermind'.

Unfortunately half of his set will clash with The National.

I think it would be the other way around. And that day turns into even more of a clusterf**k.

Fantastic. Another f**king Saturday clash. According to the thing, I should be able to catch about 10 mins of Little Roy after Glassjaw, but there's no way I'm missing the end of Glassjaw's set.
