Yep, you heard right. Hailing from Pontypridd, South Wales, the Lostprophets are coming to Leeds Festival in 2009 to headline the NME/Radio 1 tent on Saturday 29th August 2009, with AFI, Gallows and The Gaslight Anthem playing before them.
Personally I think this is a great line up for the NME stage, and it definitely beats the other 2 days.

Ok, so the site is going to be undergoing some pretty hefty maintenance over the next week or two. We have loads to update, including all the changes that are being made to the festival this year, what entertainment is going to be making an appearance in 2009 and some useful hints and tips.
Keep checking back for more of the most up to date information on Leeds Festival 2009.

So, I know I'm a little late with these, but ticket prices were announced this weekend.

Weekend with camping ticket - £175
Day ticket - £70
Early Entry ticket - £10
Campervan/Caravan permit - £20 in advance
Lockers with 12V power for phone charging - £15

Car parking is included in the price of the ticket at Leeds Festival.

Another eFestivals rumour! Doves are being considered a strong rumour. All I can say is, who cares?

eFestivals has placed these guys up as a rumour today. I would say this is probably due to the fact that they have recently been touring with Rise Against, who are also rumoured to be playing the festival. They aren't often in the UK so it would make sense for them to take advantage of being here by playing Leeds Festival. I'd say they would play the Lock Up, but there are conflicting views on what stage they may actually play. I'd be incredibly happy about these playing the festival. Their album hasn't left my car CD player since I bought it 2 months ago!

This is 100% going to happen. Straight from the horse's mouth, I have heard these boys self confirm for the festival whilst having a few drinks in town. Darren and Ryan are friends of mine, and as a result I can pretty much garantee this. They also self confirmed at a few gigs this week so expect to see them.
