More festival news – and Blur have been added to the bill at Leeds and Reading alongside headliners Metallica and Linkin Park. Courtney Love is also expected to play at the August Bank Holiday events, with Sum 41, Beck, Placebo, Blink 182, The White Stripes and System of a Down also confirmed. Of course the Leeds Festival still has to face the licencing challenge, though organisers reckon there has been no official objection to the festival taking place this year despite the mini-riot that followed last year's finale. Last Spring Mean Fiddler's first licence application was turned down, but later granted after they appealed.
