Well Leeds and Reading are over and I think everyone can agree they were both fantastic festivals. Now it’s time to start thinking about 2008!
You can buy a limited supply of 2008 tickets here: http://www.seetickets.com/seelr/. They cost the same price as last years so buying now will save you £10-£20 and also mean you don’t have to partake in the scrum for tickets in 2008.

No sign of this news on the official website but this has come straight from their PR company so it’s almost certainly true. This year they’re calling the Comedy Tent the “Alternative Stage” and as well as comedy there will be visual displays etc. shown there.
The lineup is as follows:
| Leeds Thursday | Leeds Friday | Leeds Saturday | Leeds Sunday |

Seetickets appear to have started posting tickets for Leeds and Reading festival, I have received my Early Entry Passes this morning.
Don’t panic if you haven’t got your tickets yet, many still haven’t, it’s when we’re a few days from the festivals that you should start to worry.

Mean Fiddler have announced today that Reading Festival will definitely take place even though the venue has been flooded in recent storms. Part of the areas used for camping flooded after prolonged rain caused part of the River Thames, close to the site, to burst its banks. However, with the weather warming up and river levels receding, organisers insist everything looks good for the event.
Good news for anyone worried about the flooding, as for Leeds Festival the venue hasn’t been flooded so there is no doubt as to whether it will take place.

Mean Fiddler are currently supporting a lift share scheme for getting lifts to Leeds and Reading this year. The idea is that if someone is driving to either festival they can announce it on the internet and offer a space in their car for a small fee or sometimes for free.
