http://www.nme.com/news/104711.htm
LINKIN PARK, BLUR and METALLICA have been confirmed as the headline acts
for THE CARLING WEEKEND: READING AND LEEDS festivals, NME.COM can exclusively
reveal.
This year's event takes place between Friday, August 22 and Sunday, August
24 at Temple Newsam in Leeds and Richfield Avenue in Reading, subject to
licence.
At Reading on the Friday (which corresponds to Saturday at Leeds), Linkin
Park will headline the Main Stage, with support from Blink 182.
The following day in Reading (23), which corresponds to Sunday 24 in Leeds,
Blur, as they did in 1999, will headline the Main Stage, on a bill that
includes The White Stripes.
The final day's bill in Reading (24), which will open the festival in Leeds,
will see the return of 1997 headliners Metallica. Support on the Main Stage
comes from System Of A Down.
A variety of other bands have been confirmed to play, although their stages
and days are yet to be confirmed. They are Sum 41, Beck, Placebo, Doves,
The Streets, The Music, Courtney Love, The Polyphonic Spree, AFI, Hundred
Reasons, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Datsuns and The Mars Volta.
Tickets for the event are on sale now, and are priced ￡95 for a weekend pass.
For tickets, call the NME Ticketline on 0870 1 663 663.
Festival organisers are going to great lengths this year in an attempt to
avoid the problems at last year's Leeds festival, when scores were arrested
amid violent scenes in a festival campsite.
This year, an application has been lodged for two different sites, with an
option of nearby Bramham Park if Temple Newsam's licence bid fails.
