The event, which runs from August 24 – 26, will see the Welsh indie pop band open the Main Stage on Saturday (August 25) at Reading and Sunday at Leeds (August 26). They play beneath the Mystery Jets and Blood Red Shoes.

Social Distortion and Less Than Jake will headline the Lock Up stage. The stage is hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Mike Davies, presenter of the Punk Show.

He said: “Having an incredible Punk Rock line-up every summer has become a standard for the Lock Up Stage. And this year is no different.

“Old favourites, new heroes and even surprise guests, we have it all and it will be one hell of a festival.”

They also performed at last weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festivals and brought all their classic brit-pop hits with them such as Common People and Disco 2000. Their set list at Leeds was as such:

Do You Remember the First Time?
Pink Glove
Razzmatazz
Pencil Skirt
Something Changed
Disco 2000
Sorted For E’s & Wizz
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E.
I Spy
Babies
Mis-Shapes
This Is Hardcore
Sunrise
Bar Italia
Common People

This setlist bodes very well for everyone going to see them tonight and tomorrow.

Pulp tickets are still available online.

They performed at last weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festivals but it appears that their fans may have to wait quite some time before they will get the chance to see them again. In an interview with Gigwise the band’s drummer Sam Foragarino stated, “We need a big break. Interpol needs it. We need to recoup and go on a proper hiatus,” he said. “Who knows what is ahead for the band, I think we’re all just looking forward to relaxing for a while and catching up with our own things.”

Earlier this year the band released their self-titled album which was met with a warm critical reception. Fans remain hopeful that Interpol will tour again soon.

As soon as they are announced Interpol tour dates will be available here.

Guitarist Jenny Lee Lindberg told that work will begin in earnest once their touring commitments are finished. She commented, “oftentimes we’ll just jam and free-flow onstage, so maybe a new song will happen that way. It’s coming. This is our last British show, we’ve got Electric Picnic in Ireland, then a show in Seattle, then we’re home.”

Fans are very excited to see which direction Warpaint will head in next and it seems that this band are really starting to make waves into commercial success in the UK at the moment.

Warpaint tickets are available online.

Following their co-headline slot with Pulp at last weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festivals, the band’s bassist Nikolai Fraiture told the Daily Star;

“Some people are bringing in stuff, some are not. There aren’t so many finished songs but we have many parts. We try putting them together like puzzles and making them stick.”

He went on to add, “What we do on our own is not the same as what we do together. We’re in a good place as a band right now. I feel like I’m at therapy in a marriage.”

This news is certainly an improvement from the band’s previous poor relations which were apparently eminent during the recording of Angles. The Strokes do not currently have any tours planned but fans are hopeful they will be back on the road sooner rather than later.

As soon as they are announced The Strokes tour dates will be available here.

The band played two magnificent sets at Reading and Leeds Festivals last weekend and now it appears that a new album could be soon around the corner. In an interview with Gigwise, lead singer Gerard Way commented:

“We’re writing music every day at the moment, which was something that wasn’t happening on ‘Black Parade’.” He also went on to comment about the current state of the band, “Now it’s like this is what I do and I want to do this for the rest of my life. Everybody’s so happy.”

My Chemical Romance finished off their tour at Reading and Leeds, but it is hoped they will announce further shows in the near future.

As soon as they are announced My Chemical Romance tour dates will be available here

Guitarist Freddie Cowan commented, “We don’t generally write on the road. We’ve got some time off coming up. But I couldn’t even tell you about the new album because we haven’t thought about it yet.” However Bassist Arni Hjörvar added: “We haven’t thought about it but it’s on our minds. We’re aware that the normal way to do it is to release another record at some point. And that that will involve some writing.”

The band released their debut album, What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?” in March of this year but it seems that the sequel may be a while off yet. The band will be heading out on tour in support of Arctic Monkeys this Autumn.

The Vaccines tour dates are available online.

5. The National- England- The National played a very special set on the Saturday evening at the Reading site and here is their rendition of England from their High Violet album:

4. Frank Turner- Photosynthesis- Frank Turner made his mark on the mainstage at Reading and Leeds this year and he certainly did not disappoint. Here is his rendition of Photosynthesis.

3. The Strokes- Hard To Explain- The Strokes delivered their ambivalent indie rock to Reading and Leeds with great aplomb. They sent the crowds into rapturous frenzy and must be regarded as one of the highlights of Reading and Leeds 2011. Here is Hard to Explain.

2. Muse- Intro and New Born- Muse wowed fans during their headline performances at Reading and Leeds. They had an amazing stage which threw out fire at points and added to their very special performance. Have a look at their opening number below.

1. Pulp- Disco 2000- Pulp continued their much acclaimed come back Summer with two stunning sets at Reading and Leeds Festivals. They induced two of the biggest sing alongs throughout the weekend and Disco 2000 is our number 1 highlight.

Pulp will also be going on to perform two very special shows at London’s Brixton Academy on August 31st and September 1st.

Pulp tickets are available now.

The current forecast for today is rain, but it is set to clear up tomorrow and by Sunday should be dry with sunshine. Fans heading to the main stage today will not let the wet weather dampen their spirits as they watch headliners Muse, who have promised to play the entirety of hit album, Origin Of Symmetry, in full. Also appearing are Elbow, Interpol, and Friendly Fires, with 2manydjs and The Streets headlining the NME/Radio 1 tent.

Tomorrow will see My Chemical Romance headlining the main stage with Beady Eye topping the bill of the NME/Radio 1 tent. Sunday will see an incredible finale of The National, The Strokes and finally Pulp to close the festival.

Leeds Festival tickets are still available.

The tragedy at Pukkelpop festival resulted in a number of stages collapsing in very strong winds and torrential rain, leaving five dead and hundreds injured. In an interview with BBC Newsbeat, Benn said of Pukkelpop: “If we had something similar I know what actions I would take in order to make sure people were safe. I have to table top exercises with the emergency services about the actions I would take in the event of all of those things. Believe me, there is no scenario of an eventuality that I have not looked at, including freak storms. I know how I would deal with it to ensure peoples’ safety. The level of effort over safety is immense. It’s the thing which keeps me awake at night.”

Reading Festival tickets are still available.

Last time they performed at the festivals (in 2006) they were bottled off stage so there is evidently a certain degree of anxiety for them going in to the weekend. The lead singer Gerard Way told the Daily Star, “We haven’t felt like we’ve had anything to prove in a long time, so maybe this is the right time to do that.”

He went on to add, “We’re closing a festival where not everyone has approved of us in the past.” The comments surely indicate that they are saving something special for Reading and Leeds Festivals. Acts also on the bill include Muse, The Strokes and The Streets.

It will be their first album since 2009′s The Liberty of Norton Folgate, and their eleventh record overall. Speaking to Digital Spy, Suggs said: “It’ll definitely come out next year – hopefully we’ll finish it this year. We were hoping to get it done but then we decided to postpone the whole thing because we weren’t completely satisfied with what we’ve done so far.”

He continued: “We’re working on it and I think that’s the thing… when you’re young you have all the time in the world. We don’t spend 24 hours a day working on music like we used to when we were younger, so you have to do it in batches – sporadic, intense.”

The band are set to perform at this weekend’s Leeds and Reading Festivals, as well as September’s Ultrasound Festival and November’s House Of Fun Weekender.

Madness tickets are available now.

Previously the band indicated that their current tour could be their last, and this was further suggested when Jared Leto (leadsinger) spoke to Kerrang this week.

He told the magazine, “A lot of artists peak or get burned out. A lot of times they stop trying and those are all dangers. It took two years to make ‘This Is War’. Touring it has been another two years. Do I have that in me again? I don’t know.”

The band will be performing at this weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festivals along with the likes of My Chemical Romance and Muse.

A source told the Sun that Elton John is a huge fan of the British band, whose name has been linked to an Olympic performance. The source said: “Elton has never put on subtle live shows but he wants the Olympic gig to be more overblown and spectacular than ever. He’s been a huge fan of Matt Bellamy’s band for years and is desperate to collaborate with them.”

The source continued: “A show during the London Olympics will be the ideal opportunity. And with Muse’s reputation as one of the best live groups in the world it’s bound to be special.”

Muse are set to play at Leeds and Reading Festivals this weekend.

The pioneering indie band, who have twice split up over disputes between frontmen Carl Barat and Pete Doherty, are said to be planning a 2011 UK tour. This will then be followed by an early 2012 European tour, and a number of festivals in the summer.

The news came from a source in yesterday’s Sunday Mirror, which said: “Pete and Carl really enjoyed reforming the band last year for the Reading and Leeds festivals. Now Pete’s out of prison and trying to stay clean, getting the band back together is his main priority. Fortunately Carl is open to the idea of touring and getting back to what they were famous for. So long as Pete is relatively on the straight and narrow, the world is their oyster.”

The Libertines tour dates 2011 should be revealed soon.

Now this confrontation may reach its climax as Liam Gallagher has announced he is suing his brother Noel over comments he made about the end of Oasis. It seems Liam is furious with Noel’s previous allegations that the band cancelled their performance at V Festival because Liam had a hangover and the direct cause of the band’s split was over a clothing row.

Liam released a statement to the Sun stating, “I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made claiming Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V Festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover. That is a lie and I want Oasis fans and others who were at V to know the truth. I was gutted when I couldn’t play the gig because I didn’t want to let the fans down.”

Noel is sure to hit back at these comments and the situation is likely to get a lot worse before it gets better. Meanwhile, Liam’s new band Beady Eye will be performing at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The hit art rock band released their universally acclaimed debut, The Fool, in October 2010, and guitarist Theresa Wyeman told NME that they were regularly thinking about the second album: “We’re all meditating on it everyday. Somebody will make up something while we’re soundchecking and we’ll be like, ‘Don’t forget that because I really want to develop that, there’s something special there.”

The all-female band also revealed the sound will be considerably different to their debut: “It’s sounding quite minimal so far which is interesting because it’s the opposite of what we’ve been doing which is normally pretty complex. I think it’ll be interesting to try and simplify that and we should experiment more with some acoustic guitars.”

Their second album is expected to be recorded in early 2012. The band will play at Reading and Leeds festivals at the end of August.

On August 9th, the Pretty Green store owned by the Beady Eye frontman was raided, with its front door and windows smashed. A huge wealth of clothes and other accessories was then taken during the riots that swept the country.

So far, just one person has been convicted of playing a part in the robbery. Owen Flanagan was sentenced to eight months in prison after taking clothes worth £175 from the store. Currently courts are still trying people arrested during the riots, so more people could still be charged in connection with the Pretty Green burglary.

Beady Eye are set to play Reading and Leeds Festivals at the end of August.

Beady Eye tickets are on sale now.

The singer of one of the world’s biggest bands posted a message on Twitter, questioning the motive of the rioters: “A violent expression of unfairness in society or just dumb f***s yearning for a hug from daddy? This is no Uprising.” It is thought the use of the capitalised word Uprising is a reference to the Muse song of the same name.

The band will play their classic album Origins of Symmetry at Reading and Leeds and their show is sure to be the ultimate blow out to the Festivals.

In the interview, Chris went on to confirm that the band will definitely tour again.

“We’re always going to be the kind of band that want to get out and play live. As the years go on there’s that temptation to cut the touring down less and less but we still love playing live. I can’t ever imagine we’ll be the kind of band that cut the touring down significantly.”

They released their debut album,  The Big Roar in January and now it appears that their follow up could come a lot sooner than anticipated. In an interview with the NME, singer Ritzy Bryan commented,

“We started the second album ages ago. We write all the time, even when we’re on the road, because we record ourselves, we build collections of songs quite quickly. We have about 15 or 20 already, but lots of other bits too, there’ll be lots to choose from when we eventually sit down and sort it out.”
