Foo Fighters To Headline Reading

You may be still too busy nursing post-festive / new year hangovers and looking at ways of shedding those extra pounds to be thinking about the summer festivals but Drowned In Sound can exclusively reveal that the headliners for this year's Reading & Leeds festivals will be the Foo Fighters.

Speaking to DiS at the international music conference Midem, in Cannes, sources close to the band revealed that the Foos, who're currently recording the "much heavier" follow-up to 99's 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose', will be supported by Muse at the 3-day event, which is the staple of every alternative music fan's diet.

The 2002 festival is still in it's relatively early stages and no more bands have been confirmed at this stage.
