The latest batch of bands for this year’s Reading & Leeds festivals has been announced, and it includes the second headliner.
Joining Muse as bill-toppers for the two-legged-event are Kasabian, who are set to deliver a UK festival exclusive set. “It’s been five years,” the band say, “and we have come a long way since then. We’re looking forward to playing tunes from the new record and bringing the mosh pit to Reading & Leeds Festival!”
Festival boss Melvin Benn adds: “I’m thrilled to be able to announce Kasabian as the second headliner for Reading and Leeds 2017. It’s been five years since they played; I’m excited about what this memorable headline performance will bring. The Reading and Leeds line up is already shaping up to be one of the best yet, and I’m looking forward to revealing the third and final headliner soon.”
They’re joined on the bill by Two Door Cinema Club, Flume, Fatboy Slim, Circa Waves, Jimmy Eat World, The Amity Affliction and Rat Boy.
They’re in addition to the already announced Major Lazer, Bastille, At The Drive In, Architects, Tory Lanez, Glass Animals, Against The Current, Danny Brown, Andy C and While She Sleeps.
Reading & Leeds takes place between August 25th and 27th. Tickets are on sale now.
