The Last Shadow Puppets, the side project of Alex Turner and Miles Kane, will co-headline the Radio 1 Stage at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival.
The show will be the duo’s first full live performance and sees them join The Cribs as headliners.
The Last Shadow Puppets debut album, ‘The Age of the Understatement’, topped the UK charts last month.
The album is the third time that Turner has scored a number one, his other two coming in the Arctic Monkeys.
The pair will headline the stage in Leeds on August 22nd and Reading on August 24th.
Speaking to Gigwise last week, Kane revealed that work on the band’s second album would not begin for at least two years.
Tickets for this year’s festival, which will be headlined by Metallica, Rage Against The Machine and the Killers, have sold out.
