Well, SL have sorted out some alternative links to elp you get through ... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/ticket-outlets/ Based on previous years, the tickets will probabaly be around £165 for weekend with camping and around £70 for a day ticket. Early entry passes will probably be no more than £10 (well worth it in my oppinion). Exciting times!!!! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/ticket-prices-165/ Has your situation changed this year? Are you on holiday down south? Do you just fancy a change? Well if any of the answers are yes, then you may be attending Reading Festival this year. If so, then you can visit our other site at www.strictlyreading.co.uk http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/visit-our-other-site/ Kasabian - rumoured to play last year but didn't. Things do point to a main stage appearance this year though after various interviews and touring dates. Would be a decent British headliner compared to Razortripe and if with RATM and Metallica... would anyone argue at the notion that it would be ... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-kasabian/ Personally, I don't think too highly of them, purely because of Doherty, but musically they are reasonably talented. I'd be surprised if they got mainstage, but you never know! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-babyshambles/ After Mean Fiddler/Festival Republic properly messing up last year, maybe there is a chance for them to play this year? I hope so - fun band to listen to with mates and not take too seriously. Quite a cult following - would be much appreciated http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-nofx/ These lads are rumoured to be possibly headlining one of the days as well. A great, consistent live band and haven't been here for a couple of years at the least. We would love to see them if they played a lot of their old stuff! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-green-day/ Top chaps, very popular. Rumoured to be supporting The Foos at their stadium shows this summer, so maybe following them to Leeds? Either way, they are rumoured and would be good to chill with a beer to. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-editors/ This is what I would have called my band if I was still 16 and in a band. So let's see if they prove to be as good as my band! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-wombats/ Well, not our thing here at SL, but plenty of people seem to be in favour of them. Due to a subheadlining position at Give it a Name this year they could well be in. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-plain-white-ts/ Haven't heard a lot from these guys lately. Apparently they went down well in 2006. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-automatic/ A good band by all accounts. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-los-campesinos/ What, again? Rumoured to be playing for the 345th time correct? Anyway, rumours still haven't gone away even after their confirmation for Download...so looking promising for this year. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-subways/ A band that plays music... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-story-of-the-year/ Who? A band I have not really heard much about...rare these days! Check them out, they could be the next best thing! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-ting-tings/ Good trio, went down very well last year. Would give them a watch myself. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-young-knives/ Well, I saw this band before anyone else had even heard them and I must say, they have done well to get so big. Not a bad addition by all means. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-cribs/ Mr. Marr, nuff said. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-modest-mouse/ They'll be coming back to Leeds according to rumours... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-comeback-kid/ Yeah man, it does offend me. Leeds 2008? We think so. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-does-it-offend-you-yeah/ Anyone else heard of these guys? No? Ah well... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-broadway-cells/ These lads are rumoured to be headlining one of the nights. Not the worst band in the world but definitely nowhere near the best. Last time at Leeds, they seemed deflated and uninterested when they played before the Pixies. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-killers/ These lads are rumoured to be headlining one of the nights. Place them at any festival and they'll work the crowd into a frenzy. We all know what's going to happen, we all know what to expect but we don't care. Good fun time band to cap of a day ... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-foo-fighters/ The Kooks enjoyed much praise when they played the NME tent a few years back. It would be just a matter of time that they would be upgraded to the main stage. Could be a good band for the Saturday. Rumours are they they will play below The Killers (headliners) http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-kooks/ One of the "superbands" to still be around. Not doing a bad job at it. Even if you don't like the band or the music, they will be worth watching purely for Slash. Rumoured to be playing under Metallica somewhere on Friday. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-velvet-revolver/ Good metal band - passionate and talented. Almost worth them coming to play their cover of Pantera's "Walk". Rumoured to be playing on Sunday. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-avenged-sevenfold/ A music band - that's right. Not only that, but they are a punk band. Pretty much self confirmed but we always know to take that with a pinch of salt. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-goldfinger/ Went down like an abandoned ship last year! Carter's mental ginger appearance looks like returning to Leeds once again as sources indicate that they claimed they are hoping to be playing this year. Our bet here at SL is that they will play none other than the Lock Up tent. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-gallows/ A class act - doesn't seem to do no wrong with his Leeds Festival appearances. Would love to have him back. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-dizzee-rascal/ A bit of dancing never went down all that badly at Leeds Festival. Mix it up with summer and guitars and you have a pretty good afternoon ahead! Would love to have them back. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-dropkick-murphys/ Again? Apparently so...just one weekend in the city of Leeds last year just wasn't enough for these lads. Fantastic live act. After their 3rd slot last year, they are rumoured to be playing second under headliners The Killers this year. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-bloc-party/ Last year, Enter Shikari filled the tent up and out at Leeds. Sell out tours since they got bigger have all proved that they will be a well received band once against this year. Combining electro beats, screamo vocals and some clunky guitar work, this hard working band could very well ... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-enter-shikari/ Nice band name here... Very popular with the likes of NME at the moment, damn them! Seriously though, meant to be a good live act. Rumoured to play, our bet is on a tent performance. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-joe-lean-and-the-jing-jang-jong/ We all want to see Metallica, right? Played last in 2004 and headlined. One band you need to see this year if they appear. Rumoured to headline Friday at Leeds. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-metallica/ Iowa 9 piece Slipknot are rumoured to be back this year to create havoc. They haven't played since 2002 and would be a well received addition to the lineup. Oh and before I forget, they are rumoured to be playing below Metallica. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-slipknot/ Josh Homme and his talented bandmates are todays' definition of real 'rock n roll'. Their music is of that which would have been heard when Leeds Festival began. Are they playing? No one knows... Rumoured to be playing under Rage Against The Machine. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-queens-of-the-stone-age/ Less Than Jake are a strong rumour and as they did not play last year it is pretty likely. Soo yey for some american pop-punk-ska :) Probably have a mainstage set as previous years. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-less-than-jake/ These Coventry lads have come out of pretty much nowhere in the last year or so. Filled the Radio 1 / NME tent to the brim last year with a very slick performance and could well be back for another year. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-the-enemy/ A fantastic live act. Proved themselves very worthy from many years hard work, and would be deserved of a mainstage position at Leeds this year. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-weezer/ Yes, one of the best metal bands of all time may be returning, as our sources indicate. A real metal band. Prepare to get stunned, like each time we see them! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-machine-head/ Seem to be popular with people from Leeds...so perfect for you guys! We know it's all ravey up there, get your glowsticks and caps out guys, we think they will be there this year. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-hadouken/ Let's face it guys, they are headlining all the other european festivals, none in England yet, so Rage Against The Machine have got to come to Reading. Remember, no Download is possible. Sorted, Take the power back. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-rage-against-the-machine/ Would be an essential addition to this years' lineup. Fantastic frontman of one of our favourite bands, System of a Down, and as equally talented as a solo artist. Mainstage sunday would be a fair bet for Serj Tankian this year. http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2008/leeds-festival-rumour-serj-tankian/ Reported on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7200053.stm Melvin Benn has confirmed that for this years Leeds and Reading Festivals the three headliners will be American.

It will take place ... http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2007/festival-republic-announce-reading-and-leeds-festival-in-america/ Apparently at Less Than Jake's recent album shows in London the band hinted on two of the nights that they could be playing the Leeds and Reading Festivals in 2008. Who knows if this was a wild speculation or truth! http://www.strictlyleeds.co.uk/leeds-festival-2007/leeds-festival-2008-rumour-less-than-jake/ http://festivalrepublic.com/home/ Out with the old, in with the new?
