This year's Reading and Leeds festival is going to be a big one - of course. With Kasabian, The Cure and Foo Fighters headlining, how could it not be?

Gigwise viewers recently voted Reading and Leeds 2005 line-up (The Killers, Kings of Leon, Kasabian) as their favourite ever, but with a history as huge as this event, it's hard to pin down just one year as a highlight.

We've scoured the years of Reading and Leeds and pulled together the best ever headliners from the festivals recent history. Radiohead, The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys, Paramore, Morrissey and many more music legends rub shoulders in our collection of the 50 greatest Reading and Leeds headliners and top bookings of all time. Let us know if you think we've missed anyone out!

So, in no particular order...
