Reading and Leeds will take place from the 22nd to the 24th of August 2014 with both festivals sharing the same line-up across different days.
The team behind Reading and Leeds have been teasing fans for quite some time now with a line-up announcement and the day finally arrived when Zane Lowe released the first batch of names live on BBC Radio 1.Blink-182 were announced as a main stage headliner across the weekend while Jake Bugg, Metronomy, Disclosure, Of Mice & Men, I Am Legion and Wilkinson were also announced with many many more to come.
Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 said: ”I’m stoked to play Reading & Leeds 2014. It’s our fourth time playing the festivals, and we’re very honoured. The new year will see us in the studio preparing new music, getting ready to rock the fine people of the UK. Prepare for the fury.”
Melvin Benn – the festival boss commented: “2013 was a year of exciting additions for Reading & Leeds Festivals, making them bigger and better than ever.”
“With extra stages and genres at both sites, there was a new diversity for all our fans to enjoy. However the core essence of the festival hasn’t changed and I think the line-up for next year will most certainly reflect that.”
” I know our fans will be delighted to welcome back our first headliners, Blink-182, with what promises to be an amazing show, as well as the brilliant Jake Bugg stepping up to the Main Stage. I can’t wait to reveal the rest of our incredible line-up, so watch this space!”
