Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival

25th – 27th August, Bramham Park, Leeds

After the success of the Lee Unsigned Stage at last year's Leeds
Festival the event organisers, Mean Fiddler, have decided to continue
and are now looking for bands to complete this year's line-up.

Running between midday and 7.30pm on all three days , 8-9 bands will
have the opportunity to play each day. The winners of Leeds'
Futuresound competition will appear on the stage (with the ultimate
winner garnering a spot on the Carling Stage) leaving room for around
20 other acts to have the chance to play in front of thousands at the
weekend. Last year's line-up saw the following bands play across the
weekend. This Et Al, The Favours, Lyca Sleep, iLiKETRAiNS, The Kiks,
Deserves To Die, The Harrisons, 65 Days Of Static, Future Ex Wife, The
Xenith Sound, Pilla, Circlesound, Parisman, The Adventures Of Loki,
Chicken Legs Weaver, Your Vegas, Censored, Cardboard Cowboy, Fifty
Nine Violets, The Sunshine Underground, Turismo, Mr Mojo, New Mind's
Eye and Last People On Earth.

If you're are interested in trying to secure a slot for yourself or
your band please send demos or releases the address below by Monday,
12th June. Please bear in mind the term 'unsigned' does not exclude
bands or artists who have previously released their own material
through record labels.
