JIMMY EAT WORLD were already announced as the headliners on this very special show when we confirmed their appearance on the Main Stage a few weeks ago but let’s look at this again. One of the biggest bands in the world, on a tiny stage, at the end of the first night at Reading and slap bang in the middle of your weekend at Leeds, what more could you want? To see them in this setting is a major treat for their fans and, if you aren’t one of those just yet, get along to this show and chances are you will be by the end of the set.

UNKLE are back. After a three-year hiatus, the James Lavelle-helmed collective return with a new label, new home, new collaborators, new clothes label – and a new sound.  UNKLE’s third album follows the worldwide success of 1998’s ‘Psyence Fiction’ and 2003’s ‘Never, Never, Land’ and once again finds the collective drawing on rock, electronic and beat-driven music in new ways. With a host of collaborators over those albums including Richard Ashcroft, Thom Yorke, Ian Brown and Josh Homme, the field is primed for some very special surprises for these, THEIR FIRST CONFIRMED UK DATES THIS YEAR.
