It has been announced that Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy will be headlining Reading & Leeds festival this summer, and we’re beyond excited.

This final headliner announcement makes this year’s Reading & Leeds festival a UK first in that there will be five headliners over three days.

As well as this, there will be a whopping 24 UK and European festival exclusives across the bank holiday weekend. If that hasn’t convinced you to get your tickets, we don’t know what will.

Fall Out Boy and Biffy Clyro join Foals, Disclosure and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as headliners of one of the UK’s biggest and most popular festivals.

As well as this huge announcement the guys at R&L HQ have announced loads more acts that will be playing over the weekend including R&L regulars CHVRCHES, The Vaccines and A$AP Rocky.

Coming in unannounced, drag my nails on the tile
I just follow your scent, you can just follow my smile
All of your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine
Cutting me to the bone, nothing left to leave behind
You ought to keep me concealed just like I was a weapon
I didn't come for a fight but I will fight til the ending
This will not be a battle, might not turn out okay
You know you look so Seattle but you feel so LA

And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible, yeah
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby

I'm gonna get you to burst just like you were a bubble
Frame me up on your wall just to keep me out of trouble
Like a moth getting trapped in the light by fixation
Truly free, love it baby, I'm talking no inflation
Too many war wounds and not enough wars
Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores
Too many sharks, not enough blood in the waves
You know I give my love a f-f-four letter name

And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible, yeah
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby

You're second hand smoke, second hand smoke
I breathe you in, but honey I don't know what you're doing to me
Mon chéri but the truth catches up with us eventually
Try to say live, live and let live
But I'm no good, good at lip service
Except when they're yours, mi amor
I'm coming for you and I'm making war

And I still love the way I hurt you
It's irresistible, yeah
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby

Speaking about their co-headlining spot, Fall Out Boy said: "It’s pretty surreal to hear we are going to be co-headlining Reading and Leeds. R&L was our first real festival experience outside of the U.S. and since the start we have buckled in and had an insane and memorable experience every time we have played. This is it, the big one for us and we are excited to be a part of it."

Biffy also commented on their return to the Reading & Leeds main stage, they said: “We're baaaaack!! We are honoured to be asked to close Reading and Leeds this summer. We had one of the best nights of our lives last time and we're going to do all we can to make it even bigger and better in 2016. You ain't seen nothing yet motherf**kers!!”
