Reading and Leeds are best known for their mix of both high profile and up-and-coming bands stretching across genres such as rock, indie and metal. Bands who have headlined the festival in the past include Kings Of Leon, Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, The Killers and Metallica.
Every year approximately 150,000 fans descend onto the Reading and Leeds sites over a three-day period, tickets usually sell-out in a matter of hours and this year should be no different for the festivals that take place on 27th – 29th August.
