Festival line-up update: Reading & Leeds, Wireless, Standon Calling and more

By | Published on Wednesday 13 March 2013

Wireless

So, Wireless has extended itself into a triple-day extravaganza, adding a final 14 Jul rap to-do starring Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z – who’ll be previewing their previously reported ‘Legends Of The Summer’ show, in addition to separately headlining the previous two days of the festival – and also featuring Nas, A$AP Rocky, Rizzle Kicks and a very rarely-seen A Tribe Called Quest. Wow.

Having been once wowed by the above, prepare to be so again by this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals, as have each now named Green Day and Skrillex as headlining acts, and even taken in Nine Inch Nails, Chase & Status, A$AP Rocky, Editors, Major Lazer, The Lumineers, Azealia Banks, Phoenix, Bastille, Tame Impala, Disclosure, Palma Violets and Iggy Azalea.

So, that’s all quite nice, as is the official initial phase of additions to Somerset House’s Summer Series, that set of one-night shows in central London that this year features the likes of Richard Hawley, Basement Jaxx, Jessie Ware, Monsters And Men and Tom Odell.

But wait, there’s still space for more FLUU niceties, as I segue into a summary of listings changes at the following:
