It has been announced that Carling are no longer the official sponsors of the Leeds and Reading festivals. Carling have dropped their sponsorship after 9 years with the two festivals. Little more detail is gone in to by Festival Republic (who used to be known as Mean Fiddler) other than that it was a mutual agreement.

It’s unclear what affect this will have on the festivals, obviously there will no longer be no longer be a “Beer Amnsety” tent/stage and all the other things that bore the Carling name will have to find other sponsorship or be removed all together. It will be interesting to see the affects this has on the festival.

In other news I just want to assure you that we’re still running this site and you can expect more and more updates as we get closer to the lineup. As for the name of this site? We’re going to have to wait and see to see what’s going to change regarding that.
