Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have agreed to replace The White Stripes at the Reading and Leeds festivals, playing before Blur on Saturday at Reading and Sunday at Leeds. The band's new single, 'Stop' is due on 18 Aug, and will be followed by their second album 'Take Them On On Your Own' on 25 Aug.
The White Stripes pulled out of the Carling Weekend yesterday, of course, as Jack White continues to recover from his hand injury.
