Here's a statement from Melvin Benn.
“This is a dynamic time for the festivals. Not only do we have a fresh look for next year, but we are also adding to the fans’ experience of the festival with the introduction of more stages and genres of music, which also inevitably means an increase in the number of artists playing across the weekend."
“The addition of the hip-hop stage and the extension of the dance line-up to a three day stage – whilst not losing the essence of what Reading & Leeds Festivals are about across the existing Main, NME/Radio 1, Festival Republic and Lock Up Stages – are the things that really excite me. The Reading & Leeds festival goers listen to a diverse range of music and with the likes of BBC Radio 1 offering specialist shows focused on rock and dance and BBC Radio 1Xtra – now a station in its own right – this broad spectrum of musical genres reflects what the fans are into and what Reading & Leeds represents."
“I’m really thrilled about the additions we have planned and I’m committed to ensuring Reading & Leeds remain the highlight of the festival season for many years to come.”
Reading and Leeds runs between August 23rd – 25th.
