Reading & Leeds 2015 Lineup: Mumford & Sons, Deadmau5, Bastille and More Join Metallica for Annual Festival

The lineup for the 2015 Reading & Leeds Festival is starting to get a little more complete. After announcing the initial lineup, led by headliner Metallica, today (Feb. 2), the annual British music festival got its second announcement, anchored by none other than hometown heroes Mumford & Sons.

Reading and Leeds announced its next 11 performers on its Twitter today, after a massive hype campaign. A variety of music types from EDM DJs to alternative rock join the folksy Mumford & Sons. Deadmau5, Bastille, Royal Blood, Rebel Sound (Chase & Status, Rage, David Rodigan, Shy FX), Catfish and the Bottlemen, Years & Years, Wolf Alice, Hannah Wants, Jack Garratt and Pretty Vicious are all set to play Reading & Leeds 2015.

Mumford & Sons and co. are joining previously announced acts. Metallica, Jamie T, Run The Jewels, Pierce the Viel, Wilksonson Live, Refused and Manchester Orchestra were already on board for the festival.

This is the second Reading & Leeds Festival for Mumford & Sons, though it's the band's first headlining slot at the fest. Mumford & Sons previously performed in 2010, though this was before the band's massive breakthrough and they were relegated to the second stage.

Deadmau5 is also returning to Reading & Leeds for the second time. The DJ previously played in 2009. Royal Blood returns for back-to-back years at Reading & Leeds.

The annual Reading & Leeds Festival will take place from Aug. 28-30 simultaneously in Reading and Leeds, England.
