Festivals
Loads of new acts have been announced across two new (or newly renamed) stages for this year's Reading and Leeds festivals. Where Leeds had the Topman Stage in previous years, showcasing "the next generation of UK music", this year both sites will hold host to the BBC Introducing Stage, with bands chosen by BBC - through their UK-wide network of Introducing shows. At Leeds the stage will also be kicking off the proceedings on the Thursday night as Dinosaur Pile-Up, Grammatics, The Wallbirds, Broken Records and Wintermute play from 6.30pm. The Carling Stage has this year been replaced by the Festival Republic Stage, which is basically the same thing with a different name. Piles of bands have just been added to this stage, including The Teenagers, Florence & The Machine and Los Campesinos!
