The Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival is to have a late licence running until 3 AM this year.

Following a fans forum after the 2005 event, extra entertainment has been introduced to continue after the music in the main arena finishes at 11 PM.

Events set to take place include a series of sound systems in the camping areas and BMX displays. A floodlit football pitch is also a possibility.

Further to this, Leeds Festival will feature an unsigned stage across the weekend, with a line-up drawn from bands who've sent demos into talent competitions across the north.

The Carling Weekend headliners are Pearl Jam, Franz Ferdinand and Muse, with acts like Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, Slayer, Placebo, Feeder, Primal Scream, Maximo Park, Coheed and Cambria, Panic! At The Disco and Hundred Reasons playing across the weekend.
