UNKLE to headline the Dance Stage at Leeds Festival

The Dance Stage line up was announced this evening by Leeds Festival organisers, and it's going to UNKLE who will headline the stage at Leeds 2011, as they plan to bring an exclusive show under the guise of UNKLE Sounds.

James Lavelle will debut UNKLE Sounds, an audio-visual DJ show pushing original tracks from UNKLE's career plus select UNKLE remixes of other artists and remixes of UNKLE tracks on to the dance floor.

With set and production design by long time UNKLE collaborators, Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton-Jones, the show will bring UNKLE's illustrious music and visual history into the future.

Simian Mobile Disco will be performing live, as will Sub Focus, and there will be DJ sets from Nero and SBTRKT.

You'll also be able to see Devlin, Crystal Fighters, Mount Kimbie, Does It Offend You Yeah?, Cold Cave and D/R/U/G/S on the Dance Stage at this year's festival.

Tickets for the event are still on sale so get yourself over to the Leeds tickets page if you haven't got yours yet.

Many more bands are yet to be announced, with the Lock Up Stage and a full Festival Republic Stage yet to be revealed.
