Fat White Family to lead Transgressive’s Reading & Leeds ‘late night takeover’

Fat White Family and DJ sets from Pulled Apart By Horses, Metronomy‘s Joe Mount and others will take the Reading & Leeds festival into the wee hours for the ninth consecutive year next month.

The Transgressive Takeover runs from 9.30pm until late in Reading on Friday and Leeds on the Saturday and Sunday, with Fat White Family gracing the Alternative Stage in Leeds on Sunday night.

Joe Mount plays a special Metronomy Summer ’08 DJ Set on the Saturday night, while in Reading on the Friday there’s Huw Stephens vs Pulled Apart By Horses DJing.

“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,” Toby L, co-founder of Transgressive, comments. “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.”
