Music, Mud and Mayhem: The Official History

Seeing that Festival Republic (yet again) made such an awful attempt at communication and promotion, I thought I might aswell do something here. I do have to worry when the author describes Fallout Boy and Slipknot as modern rock whilst Foo Fighters have the title of a modern Indie band! Basically:

Fantastic book covering the Leeds Festival (Carling Weekend) from its days pre-1971 outside of Leeds, to its move to Leeds in 1971 right through to the 2007 festival.

The book features exclusive interviews with bands/artsists who have played the festival over the last 40 years and gives an insight into the greatest indie/rock festival in the world.

Leeds Festival Tents

Discarded tents at Leeds Festival

Ever wondered what happens to all the tents and camping items that are left behind at the Leeds Festival? They don't get dumped in the landfill, they are re-used by charities and community organisations as part of the Give Me Shelter campaign.

Each year tens of thousands of tents and other camping items are discarded by festival goers across the country.
