Building on the already triumphant billing of acts (read about the final announcement here), Alexisonfire will reconvene for a series of summer festivals, making Leeds and Reading Festival their exclusive European performances. 

Revered all over the world, not just in their native Canada, the post hardcore quintet bring their thrashy yet invigorating output (below) to British soil for the first time since their worldwide 10th anniversary tour in 2012.

Plucking the riches of their almighty inventory, compromised of four ground breaking albums, they hit the main stage alongside headliners Metallica for the August bank holiday weekender, which also features The Libertines and Mumford & Sons in headline slots.
