Queens Of The Stone Age and Paramore have been announced as co-headliners at this year's Reading + Leeds festivals - prompting a mixed reaction from fans and regulars at the double festival.
There was some serious tension in the lead up to the announcement of who the Reading and Leeds double headliner would be. Speculation went into overdrive, with some saying Jay Z and Beyoncé, others saying Paramore, others saying Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age. Either way when the roster dropped it was clear that this year would be a very different Reading line up, with a pairing of QOTSA and Paramore landing at the top of the bill.
The announcement however has promoted a mixed reaction from audiences, some have praised the line-up and immediatley bought their tickets, others have been turned off by the announcement of Paramore as headliners Find out what fans have been saying below - the good and the bad...
The Good:
The fact that Paramore are gonna be at reading excites me too much.

Paramore aren't a good enough band to headline Reading/Leeds fest so they booked Queens of the Stone Age to help them out haha

ironic how the 1975 won worst band at the NME awards and now they are playing the NME tent at Reading.

"Ugh the Reading line up is just so predictable and disappointing" You should consider a large dose of hatchett to the windpipe
