Reading: Friday 27th August / Leeds: Sunday 29th August
Bad Religion, The Get Up Kids, Cancer Bats, Zebrahead, Crime In Stereo, RX Bandits, The Rats, Trash Talk, Paint It Black, Off With Their Heads and Moral Dilemma.

“The highlight of my year is always Reading and Leeds. It’s the perfect way to end the summer. To be able to be a part of it and have a stage there still blows my mind… If you’re a fan of punk rock, hardcore, ska and rock’n'roll then you’re going to want to get to the tent early and be prepared to spend the whole day/night there. That’s how good a line-up it is.” MIKE DAVIES, THE LOCK-UP, RADIO 1

Roots Manuva and Magnetic Man co-headline The Dance Stage

The Dance Stage has also been revealed for Saturday at Leeds and Sunday at Reading and will host Roots Manuva, Magnetic Man, Metronomy, Four Tet, Chiddy Bang, Holy Fuck, Health, Japanese Popstars, Lights, Rusko (DJ set), Sub Focus (DJ set) and for those at Leeds, a DJ set from L’Amour La Morgue.

The Dance Stage returns to the twin sites again which is sure to see huge crowds from start to finish.

Headlining the NME/Radio 1 Stage, Pendulum have a new album out

Pendulum’s brand new album ‘Immersion’ is out now!

Pendulum made one of the biggest breakthroughs of recent years with their hit album ‘In Silico’. Having sold over 1 million records worldwide, the band completed a sell out tour in 2008 and went on to smash the festival circuit last summer with killer appearances across the globe. Both studio albums to date – ‘In Silico’ and the band’s debut ‘Hold Your Colour’ – have gone Platinum.

Pendulum are back with their most visceral and enthralling work with the album ‘Immersion’ which includes the single ‘Watercolour’ and 15 other brand new tracks.
