Reading & Leeds Festival have announced a bunch of rock acts to this year's event, with Dillinger Escape Plan, Asking Alexandria, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and more all joining the bill. 

Other new additions include Fearless Vampire Killers, Sleeping With Sirens, Creeper, Citizen, Dead! and more. 

Dillinger Escape Plan are not only returning to R&L after 14 years, but this marks a UK Festival exclusive for the band - and the same goes for Fearless Vampire Killers. 

"Well then here's another one for the bucket list! Some of our fondest festival memories are from Reading Festival, and to think we'll be gracing those stages this year is unreal. I guess all I can say is thanks to everyone that's got us here. Yay!"

The new additions are:

Pit Stage:
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN
ASKING ALEXANDRIA
FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS
CREEPER
CITIZEN
WAKRAT
DEAD!
Main Stage:
FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES
SLEEPING WITH SIRENS

They joined the already announced likes of Foals, Disclosure, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The 1975, Courteeners and many more. 

The third and final headliner is yet to be announced, but is expected any day now...

Reading & Leeds takes place from 26-28 August 2016, and get tickets and more information here.
