OASIS, MANIC STREET PREACHERS and RADIOHEAD are amongst the bands that have donated prizes to a charity competition which will take place at this year’s CARLING WEEKEND FESTIVAL in READING.

Reading Festival organisers Mean Fiddler are hoping to raise £120,000 for the Cradle charity at this year’s event (August 24-26). The charity focuses on work in the former Yugoslavia to repair the damage caused by ten years of civil war.

This year, the festival are holding the ‘Cradle Tombola’. Based in the main arena at Reading, festival goers who enter the competition have a chance of winning rare or exclusive prizes from bands and musicians.
