	Reading 2012

The 2013 presale weekend tickets, early entry passes, car park passes, campervan passes and lockers will now stay on sale past the originally confirmed deadline of Midnight tonight, and continue on sale into the new year.

Rapper Eminem is the headliner confirmed for next year and will be joined by Alt-J, Deftones, Sub Focus, and Boy Better Know. 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. More acts announced in the new year.

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.

Next 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. 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.

Tickets are on sale at 2012 prices, that is £197.50 for a weekend ticket, for a limited time. Early entry tickets enabling festival goers to get into the site on the Wednesday are priced at £15, car park passes £5, with campervan passes priced at £60, and lockers £15.
