The Pixies, Foo Fighters And Iron Maiden For Reading

The Pixies, Foo Fighters and Iron Maiden are allegedly amongst the huge acts set to headline the Reading and Leeds Festivals this summer.

Although there has been no official announcement on the festival website or any of the bands’ website, NME.com claims they have unearthed the headliners in a secret investigation.

The site dubiously quotes a ‘festival source’ saying: "They’ve bagged Pixies' only UK shows next year, and there’s a chance they could be their last ever in Britain. It’s an open secret that Foo Fighters are playing as well." 

It’s unknown whether the rest of the line-up for the will be as rock-orientated as suspected headline acts.

It’s likely to be a number of months before any official confirmation of the headliners is revealed. Tickets for the Reading and Leeds Festivals are due to go on sale this spring, with the festivals taking place on August bank holiday weekend.
