Eminem announced as third headliner for Reading Festival 2017

RAPPER Eminem has been announced as the third headliner for this year’s Reading Festival.

This will be the third time that Eminem, who shot to fame in 1999 with his album The Slim Shady LP, has headlined the festival, after appearances in 2013 and 2001.

Also added to the line-up today You Me At Six, Blossoms, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Lethal Bizzle, Migos and Halsey, along with local bands Sundara Karma and The Amazons, and many, many more.

Eminem joins previously announced headliners Muse and Kasabian, but it is yet to be announced which days over the Bank Holiday weekend they will appear.

Festival organiser Melvin Benn said: “Eminem returning to Reading and Leeds is beyond exciting. His 2013 headline performance was incredible and I can’t want to have him back.

“In addition to our third and final headliner (joining Kasabian and Muse) we’ve announced over 70 additional acts to this year’s line up – it’s looking stronger than ever.”

Speaking ahead of their performance at least year’s event, the members of Sundara Karma, who all hail from the Reading area, said playing the festival was ‘a dream come true’.

Frontman Oscar Lulu: “Reading is one of those festivals we went to as kids and we always said ‘One day we will be on that stage’ but we never thought it would actually happen.”

Since then, the band have gone on to release their debut album, Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect, and embark on a full UK tour.

The Amazons are also set to have a phenomenal year, with their own UK and European tour kicking off next week, which includes a homecoming show at Sub89, in Friar Street, on April 13.

Other acts joining Eminem at Reading Festival this year are:

 

Ray BLK | Marshmello | Everything Everything | Billy Talent | Mallory Knox | Oh Wonder | The Pretty Reckless | Moose Blood | Marmozets | Milky Chance | Tom Misch | Inheaven | Fickle Friends | The Hunna | Louis Berry | Black Lips | Bear’s Den | Toothless | Shame | Tom Grennan | Cabbage | The Sherlocks | Phantogram | Grouplove | Picture This | Counterfeit | Puppy | Eden | King Nun | IDLES | Rex Orange County | Prose | Yonaka | Flatbush Zombies | MIST | Rejjie Snow | Dave | Avelino | Dillon Francis | Shy FX | Katy B (DJ Set) | Noisia ‘Outer Edges’ | High Contrast | Claptone | CamelPhat | Jaguar Skills | Sam Divine | Majestic | Becky Hill | TOKiMONSTA | James Organ | Chris Lorenzo | Mullally | Klose One | Star.One | MoStack | Angel | J Hus | Cadet | Mic Righteous | The Heatwave | The Manor | Young T & Bugsey | Geovarn
