Glastonbury will be hosting Radiohead, Isle of Wight Festival have bagged Arcade Fire, and now Reading and Leeds have announced that their final headliner will be the one and only, Slim Shady, as 2017’s festival season starts to hot up.
This will be Eminem’s third time headlining the festival, having topped the bill previously in 2001 and most recently in 2013, when he was joined by songstress Dido, for their hit song Stan. He joins previously announced headliners Kasabian and Muse at the top of the bill.
Eminem returning to Reading and Leeds is beyond exciting,” said R&L boss Melvin Benn. “His 2013 headline performance was incredible and I can’t want to have him back. In addition to our third and final headliner – joining Kasabian and Muse – we’ve announced over 70 additional acts to this year’s line-up – it’s looking stronger than ever.”
Reading & Leeds festival takes place from 25-27 August over the Bank Holiday weekend. Tickets are on sale now and available here.
