The BBC Introducing Stage visits the Reading and Leeds festivals for the first time next month, and here's who will perform across the three days of the August Bank Holiday weekend (click names for MySpace links).

The bands were chosen by a panel fronted by DJ Huw Stevens, who commented:
"Reading and Leeds is the festival for new music and so to have Introducing there is very exciting. The line-up for the stage offers a whole load of new talent and compliments the array of new artists playing."
Where are they fitting this on the site?
it's a party in my tent
god bless
i Concur
I Take It
That they are no non-horrible names left for bands then?
*there
That Fucking Tank
just about stole my idea for a bandname.
Damn
Glad Attack Attack are playing
Not much else there for me tho
Skeletons, as in thisGIRL, right?
Well up for that.
HOORAH PABH!

SITUATIONISTS
HURRAH
Yeah
I just gave them a listen. Really quite good. And Kid ID.
yeah
tho it's a fair bit difference. saw them at great escape and they were ruddy ace!
Eureka Machines
Woo hoo!
(Declaration in the interests of transparency: I run their site. But "Woo hoo!" nonetheless.)
Tank are great
this is good news. it'd be even better news if i was going.
they'll
film it, so you can watch it later. they always film the intro stages
The FF'ers , eh
I feel like a grandad commenting in an amused fashion on band names, but really. My new band the WNKr's will be playing as well. They are ok in a 'resisting urge to throw stuff on stage' sort of way.
whooo?
wwwhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
yeah
blud
yuck
at the hull bands that are playing!! the cherry cobb cartel are an insult to my ears. >:-(
if this stage is anything like the one at latitude
it will be shite
Solus Locus
Err... isn't there a name missing off the list?
This should be interesting
When was the last time the BBC put their name behind such low-key (for now) acts? More encouraging than Myspace endorsed this or that I'll say.
