Festival line-up update: Reading & Leeds, The Warehouse Project, Bestival and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 25 July 2013
As Michael Eavis cranks the Glasto 2014 gossip machine into motion via hints that David Bowie might headline next year’s fest – “David’s done it a couple of times before but I’m sure he could come back again”, as he phrases it – let’s steady our nerves with a few new certainties at Reading and Leeds, shall we?
With weekend passes at Reading no longer available (Sunday day tickets still are, mind), the festival and its Leeds-based parallel have added identical acts (Mausi, Lonely The Brave, Jaws etc) to their BBC Introducing roster, whilst Leeds fattens its Dance To The Radio-hosted stage listings via new adds Black Moth, The Crookes, Dutch Uncles, Hookworms and Menace Beach.
In Hungary at Sziget, Azealia Banks has cancelled her main stage appearance “due to [the] unforeseen physical pressure of her tour”, leaving a space Sziget HQ has instead filled with French rhythmic band Les Tambours Du Bronx.
And that’s it I think. Oh, bar the actual FLUUs that today include new names at Bestival and its familial kid sister Camp Bestival, and a tiny, tiny extract of the massive cast-list matching this year’s Warehouse Project, less a ‘traditional’ festival than a fifteen week series of live/DJ nights featuring Chic and Nile Rodgers, Phoenix, Hot Chip, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Disclosure, The Chemical Brothers.
