Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus has denied reports the band have been booked to appear at this year's Reading and Leeds festivals.

There has been strong speculation that the recently reformed group are set to join existing headliners Arctic Monkeys at the festival in August.

But writing on the micro-blog Twitter, Hoppus said: “Blink-182 has not been confirmed for Reading/Leeds Festivals.

“Doesn't mean it won't happen. Love those festivals. But we are not booked yet.”

As previously reported on Gigwise, Blink-182 announced their reformation at the Grammy Awards in February.

Arctic Monkeys were confirmed as the first headliners for this year's Reading and Leeds festivals this morning.

The rest of the line up for the event, which runs from August 28th-30th, will be announced at 7pm tonight (March 30th).
