Festival Features

The BBC Introducing stage is making its full debut at the Reading and Leeds festival this year, and it promises to be a very fine weekend of live music. You'll be able to say "I was there..." for a host of new bands (and maybe there will be some special guest performances).

BBC Introducing: Shamir

The hosts for Leeds are Alan Raw, from the Raw Talent Introducing programme, and Shamir Masri. Raw Talent has hosted an unsigned stage for the last few years at the festival and this year's really promises to be THE place to be seen.

Raw Talent Introducing is broadcast by BBC Radio Humberside on Sundays (8-10pm) and is simultaneously available on BBC Radio Leeds DAB.
