Foals, London Grammar added to Reading and Leeds Alternative Stage
Transgressive Records announces its acts
- Charli XCX's best festival experience: "Probably at Secret Garden Party two years ago. I went with my boyfriend. I don't think I saw any music at all. I don't even know who was playing, maybe Blondie? It was just really fun and wild. Loads of weird sh*t happened. Secret Garden is like the inside of a mental patient's brain."
Foals, Pulled Apart By Horses, Fuck Buttons, Jon Hopkins and Gigwise favourites London Grammar have all been added to Transgressive’s Alternative Stage Takeover at Reading and Leeds festivals this summer.
At the end of last week (July5 ) Transgressive Records announced the line up for its eighth year at the festivals, providing a wealth of bands and DJs for after-hours listening at this year’s events.
For the first time, Friday at Reading will be a silent stage, with punters listening to the music via hedphones handed to them upon entry.
Acts performing include James Holden plus Snakehips, Thumpers, and Karma Kid. Foals will DJ following their headline slot at Leeds on the Sunday and Pulled Apart By Horses will DJ a set of only gangsta rap anthems in Leeds on the Saturday.
Day tickets for the Saturday at Reading Festival have now sold out, and all of the early entry tickets for Reading have also been snapped up now. Friday, Sunday and Weekend tickets are still available for Reading, with early entry, day and weekend tickets avilable for Leeds.
