tickets on sale today for Reading & Leeds 2013

Limited tickets at 2012 prices go on sale at 9am today, Friday 30th November, for Reading and Leeds 2013.

This year there will be two more stages a BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage and a BBC Radio 1Xtra Stage with the arena changing at both Reading and Leeds quite significantly.

The first acts confirmed reflect these new additions with Alt-J, and Deftones, joined by the new stages headliners Sub Focus, and Better Know featuring Wiley, Skepta and JME. There are no other acts confirmed yet for 2013, expect a line-up that will still include big names from the rock, alternative, indie, punk and metal scenes.

Next year's twin Reading and Leeds festivals take place on the bank holiday weekend, from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th August. Reading Festival takes place at Little Johns Farm, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, and Leeds Festival takes place at Bramham Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.

With even more stages on offer, the line-up in 2013 is expected to increase by at least 25% in comparison to previous years, giving festival goers even more music for their money.

In addition to the bigger line-up, both Reading & Leeds will see changes to the existing festival layout. At Reading the arena will be expanded by approximately a quarter and a second arena entrance will be created to ensure easier access for festival goers.

At Leeds the site will be altered slightly so that fans will be able to explore the woods for late night entertainment, with details yet to be announced, so stay tuned for further updates. And finally at both sites, new seating areas will allow festival goers to take time out to eat in between catching their favourite bands.
