Hi! I’m Beci and I’m pleased to be taking on the task of helping out RockGeek with the running of Strictly Leeds. From April 13th 2008, I am the new administrator at www.strictlyleeds.co.uk and am more than willing to answer questions as well as keep you up to date with all the latest Leeds Festival news.

It’s a shame that we have to say goodbye to Thom (Raggapunk) but I hope that I make a good enough replacement for you guys!

Despite being told that there would be no offical beer for the festival in multiple press releases, it has been announced that Tuborg have signed a sponsorship deal with Festival Republic to become this year’s drinks vendor.

The sponsorship builds on an already impressive roster of summer festivals including Download Festival, 02 Wireless Festival, Hard Rock Calling, Global Gathering, Latitude Festival, and Escape into the Park. The deal further cements Tuborg’s association with great live music, and will establish it as the definitive beer brand for festival goers this summer.

“Carlsberg are very pleased and excited about their new exclusive three year deal with the Reading and Leeds Festivals. These are fantastic music events for the Tuborg brand to establish its ‘official beer’ status and continue to build on its music credentials in the UK,’ said Gareth Roberts, Head of Sponsorship and Media at Carlsberg UK.”

‘We are looking forward to working closely with Festival Republic and being part of a unique and fun experience for the music fans visiting the events over the next three years”.

There was a focus group attended by the head of FR and several members of various forums and sites. The write-up can be found right here:
