Biffy Clyro + Fall Out Boy to headline Reading + Leeds 2016

As if August Bank Holiday Weekend wasn’t one of the biggest on the festival calendar when Reading and Leeds takes place, the festival decided to raise the stakes and yesterday added Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy to the top of the bill.

The Scottish trio said about their headline slot: “We’re baaaaack!! We are honoured to be asked to close Reading and Leeds this summer. We had one of the best nights of our lives last time and we’re going to do all we can to make it even bigger and better in 2016. You ain’t seen nothing yet motherfuckers!!”
