Reading & Leeds Festival To Announce First 2012 Bands Tonight
This year Reading & Leeds festival will take place from 24th - 26th August, but who will be playing?
The first bands for Reading & Leeds Festival 2012 will be announced tonight (12th March), including the Main Stage headliners.
The reveal will take place on readingfestival.com and leedsfestival.com at 7.15pm, the same time tickets go on sale.
It’s currently thought Foo Fighters will be headlining one of the days - a rumour given more traction by the band posting footage of their 1995 Reading set online over the weekend.
The other two headliners are currently rumoured to be The Cure and Kasabian, though it’s all still unconfirmed.
This year, Reading & Leeds festival will take place from 24th - 26th August. Last year’s event was headlined by Muse, Pulp, My Chemical Romance and The Strokes.
