This year saw the debut of the BBC Introducing Stage at both Reading and Leeds Festivals. Whilst the lucky folk at Leeds had the unsigned stage in years gone by, now both sites had the chance to see the next generation of UK music over the weekend.

Huw Stephens, Radio 1,  said; "Reading and Leeds is the festival for new music and so to have Introducing there is very exciting."
