Introducing celebrates Reading + Leeds in 2020

29-30th August

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Introducing will be celebrating artists who have performed on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing Stage at Reading + Leeds Festival over the years.

There will be special editions of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Introducing on Radio 1 with Huw Stephens (Sunday, 11–1am) and The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing Mixtape on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 6 Music (Sunday, 1–2am), which will be hosted by Linda Serck from Introducing in Berkshire. These will take a look back at standout performances from the Introducing Stage, as well as featuring interviews with some of the artists who have played the festival.

Local Introducing shows across ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Leeds, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio York, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Humberside and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Sheffield will come together in a four-way simulcast (Saturday, 8–10pm) to celebrate Introducing acts from across the North of England who have performed at the festival, while ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Introducing in Berkshire will recognise Introducing artists from Reading and the surrounding areas (Saturday, 8–9pm). Across the weekend, all 36 of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Introducing’s local radio shows will play out past live performances at the festival by Introducing artists from their own local areas.

A selection of performances from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Introducing Stage at Reading Festival in years gone by are available to relive, including The Big Moon, Georgia and Olivia Nelson.
