The Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festival is happening this weekend in, where else, but Reading and Leeds. The line-up for this festival is ridiculously good. I can only dream about having a festival of this stature in Canada. Sure we now have the Virgin Music Festival. And yes, the line-up this year is fantastic. But check out the bands playing Reading and Leeds and you will be instantly jealous. The main stage acts alone includes the likes of :
Razorlight, Kings of Leon, Interpol, Jimmy Eat World, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, The Shins, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails and Billy Talent.
Other bands.artists worth checking out are:
Klaxons, Peter Bjorn and John, Kate Nash, Cold War Kids, The Pipettes (<- Love Them!!!), The Horrors, Maximo Park, Hot Hot Heat, The Dead 60s, , We Are Scientists and the Pigeon Detectives.
Anyways, the NME is going to be covering the festival all weekend as well as the BBC. Actually, you should head over to the BBC webpage because they are going to have tons of interviews, podcasts and video coverage over the next three days.
