Mumford & Sons have been confirmed as the next headliner of Reading & Leeds, joining Metallica at the top of the bill.

Festival organiser said: "I’m delighted to have secured Mumford & Sons for Main Stage headliners this summer and can’t wait to see them return to the Festivals for their first UK performance in over two years. With today’s announcement of a further eight great acts joining the bill, the Reading & Leeds line-up is already shaping up to be one of the best ever and I’m looking forward to revealing the third headliner and even more great artists soon."

The new additions in full are: Mumford & Sons, Royal Blood, Bastille, Deadmau5, Rebel Sound feat. Chase & Status and Rage, David Rodigan and Shy FX, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Years & Years, Wolf Alice, Pretty Vicious, Jack Garratt and Hannah Wants.
