Foals, London Grammar added to Reading and Leeds Alternative Stage
Transgressive Records announces its acts
Noah & The Whale's worst festival experience: "There's one festival in Germany that stands out which was pretty nuts. It was basically on an industrial wasteland. It felt like we were playing in a bomb crater. I remember the catering had these chickens walking around everywhere even though they were serving chicken. It was like a lobster tank but for chicken. There were electrical wires dangling down everywhere as well and I was worried if I touched them it would be the end."
