Ticket box also for Reading - find Leeds Festival tickets here

Reading and Leeds Festival have announced Mumford & Sons as the second headliners for their festival, following on from the announcement last year of Metallica joining the August Bank Holiday festivals.

The group will play an England and Wales festival exclusive to R&L, as will Bastille who will join them on the weekend of Friday 28th - Sunday 30th August, with Royal Blood returning in a UK exclusive. 

As ever the strength in depth at the festivals is frightening, with stadium dance behemoth Deadmau5, live favourites Catfish and The Bottlemen, BBC Sound of 2015 winners Years & Years, grunge pop darlings Wolf Alice and Welsh punks Pretty Vicious among the other additions to this year's festival.

Tickets for both festivals are now on sale with us; you can find Reading Festival tickets here and via the box below, and for here for Leeds Festival tickets.
