Eminem Confirmed As Headliner For Reading And Leeds Festival

Listen up lads, some big news has been released about who exactly is playing one of the summer's major music festivals.

That's right, the final headliner has been announced for Leeds and Reading Festival, and you'll probably be hyped to hear that alongside previously announced headliners Muse and Kasabian, you will be able to see one of the biggest names in hip-hop, Eminem.

The 44-year-old rapper last played the festivals back in 2013, treating the crowd to a 26-track set that saw special guest appearances, and included favourites such as 'Lose Yourself', 'My Name Is', and 'Stan'. There's no doubt his millions of fans across the world will be excited to see his return.

Spread across the rest of the line-up you'll be able to see 'Bad and Boujee' hip-hop superstars Migos; South London rapper Giggs; sun-soaked guitar-pop from HAIM; and emo Reading and Leeds mainstays You Me At Six .
