Leeds and Reading : More Bands

The acts on the festival republic stage have been announced

Friday at Reading and Saturday at Leeds sees Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, Does It Offend You, Yeah? and Late of the Pier headlining. I’d have liked to go see LOTP but it is likely to clash with the NME stage which i doubt I will be moving from that day (adam green, the cribs, last of the shadow puppets, conor oberst, etc, etc)

Saturday at Reading and Sunday at Leeds has Elliot Minor, The Audition and All Time Low as headliners and the other day has The Kills, Wiley and Glasvegas as headliners.  Let’s just say Sunday at Leeds won’t be my most anticipated day.

There are plenty more bands playing

I’m most excited about Cage the Elephant, Louis XIV, The Rascals, Florence and the Machine and The Teenagers but there will also be performances from bands like Emmy the Great, Black Kids and Friendly Fires.

Amy Winehouse the new Doctor Who.

As always, Gigwise is right there with the factual stories of the day.

Sadly this is nothing to do with the April fools joke NME pulled saying she would be guest starring as the villainess Rani

 

From Gigwise

‘Russell T Davies, the executive producer and writer of the hit TV series Dr Who, says Amy Winehouse would be a “brilliant Doctor”.

The future identity of the Doctor on the programme was cast into doubt at the end of the last series when the present Doctor, played by David Tennant, was shot.’

I doubt she’d be able to keep herself together – I’d prefer Ryan Jarman as the new Doctor
