Reading And Leeds Festival 2013 To Be Bigger And Better Than Ever - Tickets ON SALE NOW

With the likes of Alt-J, Deftones, Sub Focus and Boy Better Know confirmed as the first wave of artists for the Reading & Leeds Festival 2013, the biggest dual-site festivals in Britain is preparing to be bigger and better than ever. With additional stages, new artwork and of course the all-important line-up, the festivals will remain the best choice for music lovers and in 2013 will boast more genres of music than ever before.
Festival boss Melvin Benn has been planning these exciting changes and additions to the festivals over the past year, refining and expanding their proposition for the fans: "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, different genres of music, including the BBC Radio 1Xtra Stage dedicated to hip-hop and grime, and an increase in the numbers of artists playing across the weekend. 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."
"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."
