Chili Peppers, Pumpkins To Headline Reading/Leeds
Rising British rock act Razorlight and
veteran American alternative rock acts Red Hot Chili Peppers and
Smashing Pumpkins will headline Britain's annual Reading and Leeds
festivals this summer.
An eclectic array of bands, including Kings Of Leon,
Arcade Fire, Fall Out Boy, Bloc Party and Nine Inch Nails, will make up
the second-tier of performers for the twin three-day festival, which
begins Aug. 24.
The Chili Peppers and Billy Corgan's
reunited Smashing Pumpkins will not appear at any other U.K. outdoor
summer festival this year, according to organizers Mean Fiddler Music
Group.
