Indie favourites to headline Reading

"This year's Reading and Leeds #music festival headliners have been announced and promoters have gone with a distinctly indie flavour. Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead and Kings of Leon are set for top billing at the three-day festival which usually reserves one headline spot for a big heavy-metal act. Last year, for example, saw metal gods Metallica given a place in the headliner trinity, and previous years have also witnessed Iron Maiden and Linkin Park play last on one of the days. This year's lean towards indie bands pervades throughout the line-up: Maximo Park, Ian Brown, Bloc Party, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Kaiser Chiefs and Placebo have all confirmed their participation. Dance pioneers the Prodigy, whose latest album is titled Invaders Must Die, will also be on the main stage at both sites." - Yahoo
