alternative stage

Looking on the line up page on the Leeds fest official site, it appears the pigeon detectives have also been added

[AcademicPistol]

At Both! But Leeds has also got Tom Deacon and Al Murry!

[Yellow_Fellow]

I'm guessing that people aren't posting Benjamin Zephaniah's name cos they don't have a clue who he is.

the answer is: a legend!

[kaosmark2]

everyone who's done their GCSEs in the last like, 7 years, knows who he is!

[Calzum]

[mikecloud1984]

Late Night Gimp Fight are made up of some good friends of mine, I have never seen them before but I have heard VERY good things!

Reginald D hunter is a legend, so that could be worth a look.

Lee Nelson is gash - will give that one a miss.

It could have been worse though - we could have had Miranda!

Wow

That comedy line up has confirmed how bad this line up is this year, I really do feel sorry for anyone that paid £200 for this.

Especially when tickets will be going for half that next month.

[mrtourette]

Your sympathy doesn't make it any better I'm afraid. Fortunately £200 to get drunk with friends and watch 10-12 bands I like isn't that bad.

[RichieSpenno]

I was really hoping for Joe Wilkinson.

Oh well. Plenty to entertain me on the other stages, so it's not all bad.

[Vieuphoria]

yeah I see it as 100+ quid for The Cure alone. As that's how much it cost to see them on their last tour (standing(I think that is the case anyway)). And about 100 for the festival.

That's a stupid price, it cost me £35 to see The Cure at Wembley.

[lharris92]

amen ^

in all honesty i think there is only about 5 more bands that i want to see this year compared to last years, however its because i like the bands more it got me more excited from the start. will deffo enjoy it though!

[Englishdragon]

A bad line up IN YOUR OPINION.

Some of us actually like the line up - but because you don't it means that no one should pay the money?

Idiot.

[RichieParf]

Ha when did I say that that ?

I said I feel sorry for people forking out money for it this year, I never told someone what to do with their money.

Now, which one of us is the idiot?

[Bisque]

Glad Joel Dommet is on the Friday, the weakest day for me by far so can take it easy all day & maybe catch some acts I wouldn't normally see.
