"FOO FIGHTERS, PIXIES and metal titans IRON MAIDEN are amongst the big names who will headline this year’s CARLING WEEKEND: READING AND LEEDS FESTIVALS, NME.COM can exclusively reveal.
This year’s Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals will see a headline appearance from Dave Grohl’s band, who are putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming double album.
Although festival bosses are unwilling to confirm any names until their announcement next month, an NME.COM investigation has uncovered that Pixies and Iron Maiden are the other headliners.
A festival source told NME.COM: "They’ve bagged Pixies' only UK shows next year, and there’s a chance they could be their last ever in Britain. It’s an open secret that Foo Fighters are playing as well."
Pixies have headlined Reading Festival before, back in 1990, but they’re not the oldest band on the bill.
In what may surprise some, metal veterans Iron Maiden will return to the festival for the first time in over 20 years as part of their massive European tour. Iron Maiden have played Reading before too - in 1980 and 1982, but they still remain a huge live draw.
Reading and Leeds tickets are likely to go on sale in March, with an official announcement to come on the final line-up around the same time. For more bands set to play at this year’s festival, see this week’s NME, which is out now nationwide." |

Yeah and where you bring me along to meet them too.
EDIT: I didn't realise that ALL the weekend tickets had sold out for Reading. This batch was only supposed to be an initial batch. It's a good job we got them this time or else I would be giving them hell for feeding us bullshit.

Weekend tickets are now all sold out for Reading - Leeds still has a few.
The clever thing to do would be to do Reading on the Friday and Leeds on the Saturday.

He's already played both before.
But yes - I'll try to remember that while I'm stalking him backstage.

Wow that's an awesome bill. Reading 1990 was one of the best Pixies performances ever!! (Any video from that show?) that was a damn great setlist. Yeah it would be great to hear more bossanova tracks this time. |

Might make sense to buy now - you can always ebay it if you don't want it.
You want it all but you can't have it.

The first batch of weekend tickets for Reading went on sale yesterday. I am in two minds whether to buy a ticket now or wait until they confirm the acts. I am sure they are going to sell out very quickly, particularly if the Pixies are there. |

26th, 27th & 28th of August.
And no, Reading is not near Leeds. Although it may seem like it is for someone from Canada. Leedsis in the north, Reading in the south.
