Reading Festival 2005 Headliners!

THE CARLING WEEKEND: READING & LEEDS FESTIVALS return in 2005 with the best line-up yet, full of exclusive performances from the biggest and most sought after acts in the world. The headliners for this year's Carling Weekend: Reading & Leeds Festivals were finally announced this evening (Monday) at a simultaneous launch event in London and Leeds. This year’s headliners are three of the biggest names in rock and, as ever, are sure to be the sets of the summer at the Reading and Leeds sites.

PIXIES, FOO FIGHTERS and IRON MAIDEN were revealed as the Main Stage headliners, all making exclusive festival appearances at the three day event, which runs concurrently in both Reading and Leeds from Friday 26th to Sunday 28th August.

SATURDAY 27TH AUGUST - READING, SUNDAY 28TH AUGUST - LEEDS

If one band have been the epitome of all that the festivals represent in recent years then that band is FOO FIGHTERS. Having nearly collapsed the second stage tent on their debut Reading performance in 1995, it is both an honour and a pleasure to announce FOO FIGHTERS ONLY ENGLISH FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES.

Other acts set to appear on the Main Stage include THE KILLERS, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, RAZORLIGHT, KINGS OF LEON and MARILYN MANSON. With THREE EXCLUSIVE HEADLINE PERFORMANCES over the weekend, the twin sites of Richfield Avenue in Reading and the stunning Bramham Park in Leeds are the only place to be this summer for the dedicated music fan.
