Got your tickets for Reading and Leeds yet? And if not, why not! Summer is fast approaching - and the festival season has almost begun...

This year the Reading and Leeds line-ups seem bigger and better than ever. With Glastonbury taking a year off in 2012, the battle is on among other UK festivals to stake their claim as the essential summer event of the year, and Reading and Leeds boast some massive names.

With a line-up that spans the decades, Reading and Leeds are early 2012 front-runners with an outstanding array of acts. The main stage is heaving with the best names music has to offer such as The Cure, Angels and Airwaves, Kasabian, The Vaccines, The Black Keys, Foo Fighters and Eagles of Death Metal to name even a few.

Check out every band scheduled to perform on the main stage at this year's Reading and Leeds festival below.
