It has been confirmed that the Reading/Leeds line-up announcement will definitely be made on Tuesday 24th April. Tickets will also go on sale on Tuesday.

We will of course bring you the full details as soon as available.

Many rumours have been circulating that the delay to the line-up announcement - which normally happens in February - has been due to Eminem's legal difficulties.

Having been put on probation last week for one offence, and with the reports today of a plea bargain in a second, un-related case (that goes before the court next Monday), it's probable that Eminem has at last been able to confirm his freedom to travel to the UK. Any sentence for this second case will be confirmed in court on Monday, clearing the way for the long awaited announcement for Reading and Leeds festivals. Eminem is also expected to play the Glasgow Green event.
