Kasabian will headline Reading Festival 2017

THE SECOND headline act of this year’s Reading Festival has been announced.

Returning to the August bank holiday weekend festival for the first time in five years, indie rock giants Kasabian will close the headline stage for the second time.

The band will release their sixth studio album this spring, and their performance at Reading and Leeds festivals will mark the beginning of a new chapter in their history.

The band said: “It’s been five years, and as a band we have come a long way since then. We’re looking forward to playing tunes from the new record and bringing the mosh pit to Reading & Leeds Festival!”

Festival organiser Melvin Benn said: “I’m thrilled to be able to announce Kasabian as the second headliner for Reading and Leeds 2017. It’s been five years since they played; I’m excited about what this memorable headline performance will bring. The Reading and Leeds line up is already shaping up to be one of the best yet, and I’m looking forward to revealing the third and final headliner soon.”

Also announced for the weekend are Two Door Cinema Club, Fatboy Slim, Wiley, Circa Waves, Korn and Jimmy Eat World. They will all join previously announced headliners Muse, along with Bastille, Architects and At The Drive In among many other acts.
