The organisers of Reading and Leeds are lining-up The Last Shadow Puppets for a surprise appearance on this year’s bill, well-placed sources tell us.
Alex Turner and Miles Kane – and, perhaps, producer and live drummer James Ford and string arranger Owen Pallett – will apparently sit in between The Cribs and Conor Oberst on the NME/Radio 1 Stage.
If so, that would mean The Last Shadow Puppets appearing in Reading on Sunday (24 Aug) and Leeds on the Friday (22 Aug).
The duo have bad form when it comes to surprise festival appearances, however, failing to transpire at this year’s Camden Crawl after not getting the chance to soundcheck at the Dublin Castle.

If this means
There will be a bunch of lairy wankers in Conor Oberst waiting to see "the voice of young, working class Britain," I may have to resort to violence..
Any heckling of Mr Oberst will leave me singularly displeased..
If this means Owen Pallett will show up
and maybe play a set on the 'as yet unnamed previously known as the carling stage' earlier on then fuck yeah i'm all for it.
If not then whatever.
If rumours were true
The Last Shadow Puppets would be playing every single festival in the country.
Oberst is a toss pot though.
This has nothing to do with his music
A final fantasy set
would make up for everything of course...
Not
all Arctic Monkeys fans are lairy wankers I'll have you know
fuck that shit
I'm off to maidstone! Shut up that's ridiculous! dis how much does ones soul cost?
oh no
we couldn't possibly like last of the shadow puppets, there not obscure enough are they. get over yourself, listen to the album its actually a big step up from arctic monkeys, if u like any 60's music with strings youd probs like these bascially, and as for owen pallet why the fuck would he play a set on his own?
^^^
lol
haha
typical DIS user
surely if you like 60s' music with strings
you'll listen to music from the 60s, with strings. y'know, instead of, like, this pish?
has pattylee actually listened to the band?
turner writes better lyrics than oberset.
DiS. FACT.
OBERST
whatev
lol
i could compile triple cd mixes full of oberst songs containing some of the most heart-wrenching lyrics ever penned.
sure, turner may be able to write the odd song that relates to the average nightclub queuer, but oberst is an emotionally complex master with his lyrics. but that's another thread. (well, it was another thread, created by guntrip.)
i would say "emotional complexity"
sounds mighty pretentious. that, coupled with the acoustic guitar, is just an awful combination.
that said, turner has his pretentions too ("endearingly bedraggled in the wind" is a bit of a LOL) but i forgive him because he makes an effort to balance it out.
This has now been 'exclusively' revealed by NME
so I guess it is true.
