The international festival circuit is officially upon us. Yesterday (March 10), the lineup for the massively sized and massively popular Reading and Leeds Festivals was announced. The English three-day fests, which share a lineup, will feature the music of Arctic Monkeys, Blink-182, Queens of the Stone Age, Paramore and more.
According to Stereogum, Arctic Monkeys and Blink-182 will each get their own solo headlining set, while QOTSA and Paramore split duties on one of the three days.
Reading and Leeds, of course, have a distinctly British touch to its festival lineup, not only with the major slotting for Arctic Monkeys. Popular British artists that have quite yet to break in America such as Jake Bugg, Enter Shikari, Bombay Bicycle Club and Disclosure all have high billing for the festival.
There are, of course, plenty of Yankees at the festival though. In addition to the headliners, Vampire Weekend, Imagine Dragons, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Foster The People, Jimmy Eat World and more will all be representing the USA.
Check out the full lineup on the festival poste above, via the Reading Festival Facebook page.
The Reading and Leeds Festival will take place over England's August Bank Holiday, from Friday, Aug. 22, to Sunday, Aug. 24.
Tickets are on sale now.
