Eminem has been confirmed as the final headliner for Reading & Leeds Festival. The rapper will perform at the event – held between August 25 – 27 at Richfield Avenue, Reading and Bramham Park, Leeds – alongside previously confirmed headliners Muse and Kasabian.

Speaking about the booking, Reading and Leeds oraganiser Melvin Benn commented: “Eminem returning to Reading and Leeds is beyond exciting. His 2013 headline performance was incredible and I can’t wait 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.”

In addition to the news, a host of other new bands have been confirmed for the bill, including Migos, Giggs, Haim, You Me At Six, Halsey, Blossoms, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Billy Talent, Mallory Knox, Sundara Karma, The Hunna, Cabbage, Lethal Bizzle, Flatbush Zombies, Dave and more.
