Reading & Leeds Festival have revealed that the first Main Stage headliner for the 2014 events will be the legendary Blink-182 in their only UK show.
Joining them will be Jake Bugg, Disclosure, Metronomy, Of Mice & Men, Wilkinson and I Am Legion – the first names set to appear across the Festivals during August Bank Holiday Weekend.
The award-winning Reading & Leeds are the natural home for music lovers seeking the best acts, with the best atmosphere, surrounded by like-minded fans.
Firm fan favourites Blink-182 first played Reading & Leeds in 1999 and blew the Main Stage sky-high when they headlined in 2010.
Mark, Tom and Travis return in 2014 to headline the Main Stage with their incendiary punk-pop anthems and you can be sure they’ll perform a set laden with hits such as All The Small Things, Dammit and many more.
The band will also be giving fans a debut airing of the much-anticipated forthcoming seventh studio album which will be released next summer – the first new material since their self-released EP in 2012.
A band that never fails to deliver, this is a booking that will bring a smile to every ardent festival fan.
Mark Hoppus said: “I’m stoked to play Reading & Leeds 2014 – It’s our fourth time playing the festivals, and we’re very honoured.
“The new year will see us in the studio preparing new music, getting ready to rock the fine people of the UK. Prepare for the fury.”
Jake Bugg is one of the biggest success stories of Reading & Leeds Festivals in recent years.
Now following the release of his brilliant second album Shangri La, Jake will make another significant step up this year, taking his deserved place on the Main Stage.
Commenting on his appearance Jake said: “Reading & Leeds have become a bit of a regular feature of my summers lately, so it’s amazing to be asked back again.
“I was just kind of starting out the first time I played and it was a really important gig for me. Playing this year was fun and seemed like lots more people knew the songs; it was great hearing everyone singing the words back at me.
“I’m sure playing on the Main Stage will be a different experience again, so it’s exciting. I’ve got my new album out so there’s plenty of time for people to learn the words. It should be pretty special.”
