Kasabian have confirmed the biggest date yet of their expanding 2017 live commitments.
The band have joined Muse as headliners at the 2017 Reading/Leeds Festival, returning to the twin event after a lengthy spell apart. “It’s been five years, and as a band we have come a long way since then,” Serge Pizzorno responds.
“We’re looking forward to playing tunes from the new record and bringing the mosh pit to Reading & Leeds Festival!”
“I’m thrilled to be able to announce Kasabian as the second headliner for Reading and Leeds 2017,” organiser Melvin Benn adds. “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.”
Two Door Cinema Club, Fatboy Slim, Rat Boy and Circa Waves are some other new names on the line-up. “It’s so good to be back at Reading and Leeds, it’s always a highlight of our summer,” Two Door say. “Good to see so many guitar bands on the bill this year as well.”
