“Reading and Leeds prides itself on being a music-first festival and this year’s line-up already proves that,” says organiser Melvin Benn. “Kings of Leon and Fall Out Boy are bands that have grown with the festival and its fans and we couldn’t be more pleased to invite them back to headline. Adding Panic! at the Disco and Kendrick Lamar, probably the most sought-after act in the world right now, we think Reading and Leeds Festivals 2018 are off to an amazing start – with even more to come, so watch this space.”
Reading & Leeds take place at Readings Richmond Avenue and Leeds’ Bramham Park over the late August bank holiday weekend, between 24th and 26th August. Tickets are available now here and here.
