The Sunshine Underground are the next band to hit the rumours list for Leeds Festival 2010.

The band are expected to release a new album next month, and apparently they will be performing at the NME awards. (I've tried to do a little research but can't find any evidence for this. Has anyone else heard this?)

With this in mind, its likely that they will be making an appearance on the NME stage if they do perform.

Them Crooked Vultures Rumour Update

Wednesday, January 06, 2010 » Reactions

We're keeping a close eye on eFestivals at the moment because they are a very reliable source of Leeds Festival information.

They have now also added Them Crooked Vultures to their 'Strong Rumours' list, which only adds strength to the rumours we have already published.

They are rumoured to make an appearance on the Main Stage. 

Greenday now look even more likely after Emily Eavis (organiser of Glastonbury) said that the band won't be performing there this year.

Leeds news seems to be pretty slow this year, but we expect things to pick up over the next few months with ticket sale day only about 2 months away now!
