Funeral Party
The band can be heard confirming themselves, by listening again(here). It's just over 20 minutes in when the band are asked by Nick Grimshaw if they can talk about festivals yet for this summer, they reply "Reading and Leeds!"

The twin festivals take place on the bank holiday weekend, from Friday 26th to Sunday 28th August. Reading Festival takes place at Little Johns Farm, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, and Leeds Festival takes place at Bramham Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2011, expect a line-up of big names from the rock, alternative, indie, punk and metal scenes. The line-up plus general sale tickets will be released in Spring next year.
