BBC Introducing
Following its successful debut last year, there are BBC Introducing stages at both Reading and Leeds festival sites showcasing up-and-coming artists and bands from around the UK. Many of the bands playing earned their slot after uploading tunes and getting involved with their local BBC Introducing show.
