The 'Fire' and 'Shoot the Runner' band, who plan to release
their sixth studio album ahead of Reading and Leeds, join
previously announced Grammy award-winning rockers Muse as
headliners for the Aug. 25-27 festival.
"It's been five years, and as a band we have come a long way
since then. We're looking forward to playing tunes from the new
record and bringing the mosh pit to Reading & Leeds Festival,”
Kasabian said in a statement.
Festival organizers said British DJ Fatboy Slim, Northern Irish
band Two Door Cinema Club and American rockers Jimmy Eat World
would also be performing at the festival, which will see over
100 acts appear at the two locations.
