Carling Weekend: Leeds & Reading 2006
Full Line Up Details
At the time of going to press all weekend tickets for Reading Festival have sold out, but selected ticket outlets still have weekend tickets for the Leeds leg of the Carling Weekend.
Whether it's the gap that Glastonbury left is up for debate, but this years Carling Weekend line-up is one of their best in years with Franz Ferdinand set to unleash some new material, Muse set to prog up the weekend with audacious ambitious songs that will go stratospheric and Pearl Jam returning for the veterans slot.
Of the rest of the line-up questions remain whether Kaiser Chiefs can follow Audioslave and it will be fun seeing them try. The fact that Belle & Sebastian are now playing the "rock" festival also shows how far and wide reaching this encompassing line-up is. The highlight for many people in the Friday at Reading and Saturday at Leeds will be Panic! At The Disco opening up proceedings.
The fact that Arctic Monkeys are playing directly after the streets could lead to an interesting collaboration while Placebo and My Chemical Romance a double bill could see a mess of kohl in the mosh pit.
On the Radio 1 stage meanwhile Primal Scream and The Raconteurs see two old favourites return with a new sound and new guise.
The Carling Weekend 2006 - the festival you can't miss!!!

TOPMAN UNSIGNED STAGE
Unsigned bands get their chance to play at the UK’s biggest festival
At this year’s Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival, the best unsigned bands from the Midlands and North will get the chance to play to over 70,000 festival goers thanks to Topman. Following the success of the Unsigned Stage at last year’s event, festival organisers Mean Fiddler are delighted to announce details of how bands can apply to win a place performing on the Topman Unsigned Stage at Bramham Park this summer.
Due to the immense pressure of bands looking to play the North’s only festival, Mean Fiddler last year decided to include a stage for the best unsigned talent. Hailed as one of the highlights of last year’s event, the chosen bands were selected from hundreds of demos. Emphasising Mean Fiddler’s continued dedication to supporting bands from grass root level through to main stage triumph, the Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival organisers are delighted that the Unsigned Stage is returning this year even bigger and better.
Topman are a firm supporter of young talent both in music and fashion, giving new bands and artists the opportunity to play in Topman stores, at brand events and now on the Topman Unsigned Stage at this year’s Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival.
Demos can be handed in on CD format at the following selected Topman stores from June 19th:
Glasgow (Argyle Street)
Newcastle (Eldon Square)
Leeds (Briggate)
Sheffield (Fargate)
Liverpool (Church Street)
Manchester (Arndale Centre)
Nottingham (Victoria Centre)
Birmingham (Bullring)
Deadline for all entries is June 30th and selection will be announced July 17th.
