Elbow song among top 50 desert island tracks
Fans with Leeds festival tickets might be looking forward to hearing Elbow's One Day Like This, which has been ranked among the top 50 songs that Britons would take with them if they were cast away on a desert island.
In May this year, BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs show carried out a poll to find listeners' most cherished pieces of music, with the Elbow track featuring in 49th place in the results.
Another band confirmed for this year's Leeds Festival, Pulp, also made it onto the list with Common People, which was ranked 86th.
The results were dominated by classical music and rock, with the likes of Vaughan Williams, Beethoven, Elgar and Mozart joined in the top 20 by Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles.
Music fans heading to Leeds 2011 can see Elbow and Pulp headline the first and third days respectively, while My Chemical Romance will play the final slot on the Saturday.
