Biffy Clyro & Fall Out Boy Will Be Headlining Reading & Leeds Festival And We're Beyond Excited

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. 

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!!”
