Leeds Festival 2008 - tickets, line up, rumours

At this year’s Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival, the best unsigned bands from the Midlands, North of England and Scotland will get the chance to play to over 70,000 festival goers thanks to Topman. Following the success of the Topman Unsigned Stage at last year’s event, festival organisers Mean Fiddler are delighted to announce details of how bands can apply to win a place performing on the Topman Unsigned Stage at Bramham Park this summer.

Due to the immense pressure of bands looking to play the North’s only festival, Mean Fiddler decided to include a stage for the best unsigned talent. Hailed as one of the highlights of last year’s event, the chosen bands were selected from hundreds of demos. Emphasising Mean Fiddler’s continued dedication to supporting bands from grass root level through to main stage triumph, the Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival organisers are delighted that the Topman Unsigned Stage is returning this year even bigger and better.

Topman are a firm supporter of young talent both in music and fashion, promoting new bands and artists and giving them the opportunity to play at brand events and now on the Topman Unsigned Stage at this year’s Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival.
