RHCP, Twenty One Pilots en meer op Reading+Leeds 2016
Vandaag komt dubbelfestival Reading+Leeds met de eerste namen voor de 2016-editie. Onder andere Red Hot Chili Peppers, The 1975 en The Courtneers zullen acte de présence geven op Reading+Leeds 2016. Dat maakt de organisatie zojuist bekend op de website.
Ook Twenty One Pilots, Slaves, Hinds, DJ EZ, Crossfaith, Boy Better Know en Rat Boy zijn van de partij. Interessant zijn deze namen vooral met het oog op Pukkelpop en Lowlands. Reading+Leeds vindt een weekje na beide festivals plaats en de kans is dus groot dat bijvoorbeeld Twenty One Pilots een optreden geeft op Lowlands en Pukkelpop voordat de band de oceaan oversteekt.

Heel opvallend. Net als Roskilde riepen zij enkele jaren terug nog dat ze RHCP nooit meer zouden boeken na de verschrikkelijk slechte shows in 2006/7. En alledrie pronken ze nu trots met RHCP als eerste headliner. Op zijn minst bizar te noemen, zeker omdat uit comments blijkt dat de bezoekers van zowel Roskilde als R+L die shows en uitspraken nog niet vergeten zijn.
It’s announcement day and we couldn’t be more excited to share with everyone the recently confirmed artists for Reading & Leeds 2016.
First up, let’s take a minute to revel in our co-headliners.
Foals smashed their secret set last year, surprising the crowd with their creativity and ferocity…. So obviously we had to invite them back for their debut headline performance!
Disclosure – what can we say? The UK dance phenomenon rocked the NME / Radio 1 Stage in 2014. With chart topping hits like ‘Latch’, ‘White Noise’, ‘F For You’ and ‘Jaded’, we know they’ll have a killer show in store for their first major UK festival headline slot.
Also announced:
If ‘Where Are Ü Now’ was your summer anthem, get excited. Jack Ü, aka Skrillex and Diplo’s supergroup, are bringing their live show to Reading & Leeds.
If you love Imagine Dragons, head straight to our ticket page. These Las Vegas pop-rock masters will be making their only European festival performance and Reading & Leeds. With hits like ‘Radioactive’, ‘It’s Time’ and ‘Demons’ we know they’ll whip our crowds into a frenzy.
Two Door Cinema Club will join us for a UK festival exclusive and hey, what’s up, hello Fetty Wap as well! Nothing But Thieves will be performing hits from their debut album, sharing the bill with Crystal Castles, Parkway Drive and The Internet.
Oh and dance legends Oliver Heldens and Hannah Wants have both also been confirmed.
Tickets are on sale now for what is going to be a HUGE weekend!

Au, wat een drama line-up. De Peppers zijn wisselvallig en hebben niks van waarde meer geproduceerd. Die twee nieuwe headliners zijn niet wel erg goedkoop voor zo'n duur festival. Ook tussen die andere namen staat niks waarvan ik zoiets heb van "Wow, moet ik zien!"
co-headliners
Dus er komt nog een headliner na dus, toch?
o, wacht toch... hé verkeerd gelezen...
Dat is die kerel die verdergaat zonder Alice Glass. Niet de moeite dus.
Er moet natuurlijk wel nog een derde headliner bij. Kan goed zijn dat ze met Foals + Disclosure voor de goedkope optie gaan na zwaar dokken voor RHCP en Guns n' Roses/Kanye West.
Foals en Disclosure zijn gewoon co-headliner hoor, dus voor de derde dag moet nog een headliner komen. Dus Green Day of Biffy kan nog prima.
Die hebben sowieso een prima budget met 2 festivals die het zover ik weet elk jaar erg goed doen in de verkoop. Disclosure en Foals zijn wel echt headliner waar dat publiek wild van wordt. Sowieso wel goed dat R&L altijd wel een van de eerste major festivals is die acts voor het eerst laat headlinen.

ANNOUNCING FINAL READING & LEEDS 2016 HEADLINERS AND MORE
With our next announcement of 2016 co-headliners, we're making a UK festival first: Five festival headliners over three days.
Reading & Leeds weekend is already packed full of international heavyweights, and we can officially announce that two more will be joining their ranks: Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy. Unstoppable forces in alternative rock on both sides of the Atlantic, the two acts will take to the stage to co-headline an unforgettable night of heavy riffs and melodies.
Biffy Clyro stand as true Reading & Leeds originals, rising through the ranks over the last decade. Their full-throttle rock has propelled them to the top of festival bills around the world. With a new album in the works, and a nation of fans eagerly awaiting their next step, Biffy Clyro are destined to bring their explosive headline credentials for a truly monumental headlining performance.
Alt-rock kingpins Fall Out Boy have soundtracked the teenage dreams of fans around the globe. Their catalogue of unmistakable anthems laid the blueprint for a genre of their own, propping up the band as one of the most influential acts of the 21st Century.
On top of these rocking headliners, a raft of new names have been confirmed to appear across the bank holiday weekend. Synth-pop revelations Chvrches have taken the world by storm over the past three years, with two critically-acclaimed studio albums and a captivating live presence they'll be bringing to the stages of Reading & Leeds.
Also hitting the pitches will be The Vaccines, whose graduation to the major leagues of British indie has been staggering. They released three mammoth LPs in five years and secured their reputation as one of the most vital names of recent times.
A$AP Rocky is uncompromising and consistently pushing boundaries, earning himself two acclaimed collections of intoxicating records that drew universal acclaim from critics. His exclusive UK festival appearance at R&L will see the figurative crowning of the king of hip-hop.
The festival will be taken to the next level with Watford's finest Lower Than Atlantis, the primal tones of Sleeping With Sirens, Welsh reggae-rock titans Skindred, punk legend Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, and heavy American icons Five Finger Death Punch and State Champs.
Joining them on stage will be indie-pop darlings HAIM, recent BRIT Award winner Jack Garratt, electro-pop band The Wombats, South African phenomenon Die Antwoord, and Kentucky psych-mixers Cage The Elephant.
Though we could continue to boast about all of the chart-shakers and hit-makers we're adding to the line up, there just isn't room to cover the 61 incredible artists joining the unprecedented five headliners – which includes previously announced Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foals and Disclosure.
For the full list of artists newly added to the roster, check out the line up here.
