Leeds Festival 2013

Leeds Festival 2013

Following the hugely successful 2012 festival, the legendary Reading & Leeds Festival returns for the August bank holiday in 2013, promising to be bigger and better than ever with the best names in music from across the globe set to play at both sites.

With loads of changes happening at the festival this year, from new stages to more acts than ever before, the first band names get us ready for what is going to be a HUGE festival season ahead.

The most successful rapper in history, Eminem, is the first headliner to be announced on the Main Stage. 11 years after he topped the bill at the festivals, he returns for this performance, his only UK festival appearance in 2013.

In another UK festival exclusive, Biffy Clyro will also headline, playing hits from their extensive catalogue as well as tracks from their current double album 'Opposites'.

Green Day complete the Main Stage headliners at Reading Festival 2013 in another UK festival exclusive appearance. After a surprise Reading performance at 11am in 2012, which saw thousands of revellers heading to the NME/Radio 1 Stage and thousands more watching on screens in the arena, the band returns to play a full headline set at both sites.

And there's lots more to come...
