Having only just wrapped up for this year in August, Reading & Leeds Festivals have already begun to announce acts set to appear at their 2017 events.

Stadium-rockers Muse are the first headliner to be announced for next year's dual festivals, their first appearance there since 2011, as well as many other names such as Major Lazer, Bastille, At The Drive-In and more being confirmed throughout the other stages.

On the Muse booking, festival organiser Melvin Benn said, “I’m thrilled to be able to announce Muse as the first headliner for Reading and Leeds 2017. Their incredible live show promises to be an unforgettable performance - we have so much more to announce and I can’t wait to reveal the rest of the line up.”
