Some of the biggest names in music donate items for charity auction

Among the charities supported by Festival Republic is The Martin House Children’s Hospice based near Wetherby, Leeds. Some of the artists on the bill for this year’s Reading & Leeds Festival have donated items for a charity auction on their behalf.
 
With bands including headliners The Cure, Foo Fighters and Kasabian along with the likes of Florence & The Machine, The Cribs, Kaiser Chiefs, Paramore, Two Door Cinema Club, Enter Shikari and You Me At Six all confirming they’ll include signed items such as set lists, clothes and instruments which will be displayed at a respected Leeds venue post-festival and then auctioned via the charities  official site on eBay. You can also bid on a framed NME cover of your choice from the last decade of the magazine!
 
Some items will be placed into a raffle draw so everyone has a chance to win.
 
 
Martin House also put in hours of work and dedication to the Centre Stage talent competition which gives new bands a chance to win a slot on the BBC Introducing Stage to play at both Reading and Leeds Festivals.
