Stepping up after their blistering secret set last year, Foals say of their headline appearance: “We're absolutely buzzing to be headlining Reading & Leeds this year. It's a dream come true. I used to watch Nirvana live at Reading '92, on vhs, repeatedly while dying my hair blue and learning how to play guitar, badly.

"We've worked our way up on our own terms and to be given the chance to headline one of world’s most iconic festivals is a huge achievement for us and hopefully a sign for all bands, that, if you stick to your guns and focus on what matters, you'll get there and smash it. Onwards and upwards friends. Long live the guitar band”

Tickets for Reading & Leeds, which takes place from 26-28 August 2016, are on sale now. See the full line-up so far below, and get tickets and more information here.
