more acts for Reading & Leeds

Ahead of tonight's Reading and Leeds Festivals announcement of the final headliners and more acts to appear on the line-up over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the festival's Twitter account, (@OfficialRandL) has been busy dropping a few clues.

On Friday the account tweeted a picture showing a person holding four playing cards, two featuring Blink-182 and Arctic Monkeys and the other two with question marks on them, with the words: “This year we’re giving you four...”, revealing that fans can expect two headliners in tonight’s announcement.

On Saturday, the Reading and Leeds programmer @Jon_RandL also tweeted: “About time leeds and reading had a female headliner? #RandL14 #InternationalWomensDay” sparking speculation it could be Paramore who are announced this evening.

Tweets from the Reading & Leeds Festival’s official account over the last couple of days have also revealed more of this August’s line-up.

On Friday the festival tweeted: “Something for your weekend, here’s a teaser of just a few of the names playing in the @BBCR1 Dance Stage.#RandL14” and a picture od Andy C, Flume, Boys Noize, Ben Pearce, and Bondax.

BBC 1Xtra later confirmed that Giggs, Joey Bada$$, Danny Brown, Lizzo, and Vic Mensa as all appearing on 1Xtra’s stage.

The first headliners were announced, as Arctic Monkeys and Blink 182 with their only UK show. Also in the first announcement were Jake Bugg, Disclosure, Metronomy, Of Mice & Men, Wilkinson, I Am Legion, Courteeners, The 1975, You Me At Six, SBTRKT, Warpaint, Netsky, Annie Mac, Royal Blood, Hozier, Architects, Issues, Pusha T and Krept & Konan.
