Day tickets for this years Leeds Festival are now almost completely gone. Festival Republic have announced that there are less that 200 remaining for each day. Thats a total of under 600 left.
The E-mail that confirmed this news also announced that this year Leeds Festival Weekend tickets sold out in record time. 200 000 tickets sold in under 24hrs.
Does anyone fancy getting involved in a pillow fight this year at Leeds Festival?
I just stumbled across this rather amusing group on Facebook and thought it was worth shouting out.

In other news, http://leedsfest.org is still down. We are trying to contact the host at the moment but they are not replying. My account was shut down after exceeding the bandwidth on ticket sale day.
Hopefully it will be back up soon. oh! and it will be a relaunch so expect some changes.

Best of luck with getting yours!

Rage Against the Machine have been in and out of the headlines this year. Melvin Benn, the official organiser of Leeds Festival has stated that they are his favorite band and would love them to play.
Readers from my other blog, (http://leedsfest.org) have stated that they know staff of Leeds Festival and that these anonymous staff have revealed that Rage Against the Machine are basically confirmed.
Rage would put on a fantastic show and I think Leeds is the perfect environment for them to play. Lets just keep our fingers crossed until Monday and see what happens!
Melvin Benn, the official organiser of Leeds Festival has announced that the three headliners for this years Leeds Festival will all be American Guitar Bands.
From the rumours I have collected it looks as though its going to be The Killers, Rage Against the Machine and Metallica.
Of course though, this is mearly speculation. There is no definitive answer as to who will actually play yet. Other rumoured acts for the headline slots include, Greenday, the offspring, Kings of Leon and Slipknot.
Acts that were rumoured for the headline slots and will definitely now not play include The Verve, Kasabian and The Kooks.
