Transgressive announce late-night Reading and Leeds takeover

The likes of Fat White Family, Honne, and Best Fit One To Watch Loyle Carner will all be performing live, while Metronomy, Hinds, Jen Long, Pulled Apart By Horses, BBC Radio 1's Huw Stephens, and Peace will all be playing DJ Sets. Peep Show's Super Hans will also be spinning a few choice tunes.

Transgressive will be taking over the Alternative Stage for the ninth consecutive year, keeping the shenanigans alive until the wee hours (9.30pm - 'til late).

Toby L, co-founder of Transgressive, says:

"Every year the Transgressive Takeover at Reading and Leeds gets bigger and bigger, and it's such a joy to return once again in 2016. Last year the legendary Mike Skinner and Jackmaster killed it, whilst prior to that the likes of Kelis, London Grammar, Disclosure, Two Door Cinema Club, SBTRKT and so many more have always ensured true variety and class.

"This time, we cannot wait to welcome Loyle Carner - one of the most important new artists on the planet right now - to the stage, plus Fat White Family, Honne and all our guest DJs, not least a very welcome return from Metronomy. Meanwhile, God only knows what Super-Hans has in store for us; his first ever Glastonbury appearance this summer is already the stuff of legend.

"After the headliners finish, come and pay us a visit - we'll be expecting you."

Reading and Leeds Festivals take place 26-28 August.
