The Reading and Leeds double-header returns in August, with both festivals sharing the same acts over one mammoth weekend. The banner names are suitably colossal: among them Rage Against The Machine, The Killers, Metallica, Bloc Party and Queens Of The Stone Age.
Filling out the middle-tier are hipster-approved names ( The Enemy, Vampire Weekend, Foals, The Wombats ), hard rocking dependables ( Serj Tankian, Slipknot, Feeder ) and even a bit of ho-ho-ho from Tenacious D.
There’s plenty more to come, but the line-up as it stands is:
