    Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon To Headline Reading and Leeds

    Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys and Kings of Leon will headline this year's Reading and Leeds festivals.

    Other acts set to perform include Kaiser Chiefs, The Prodigy, Bloc Party and Placebo.

    The event will take place at sites in Reading and Leeds over the weekend of August 28th-30th.

    The full line up, announced tonight, is almost a mirror image of the widely reported bill which appeared online earlier this month.

    Kings of Leon will headline on the opening Friday, with Arctic Monkeys on Saturday and Radiohead closing the event on the Sunday.

    Maximo Park, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend and Fall Out Boy will also appear.

    Other bands on the line up include Gossip, White Lies, Glasvegas and The Gaslight Anthem.

    Tickets for the festival are on sale now and available through Gigwise here.
