Foo Fighters to headline Reading & Leeds Festivals
Lorelei_22 by Laurel Dreher February 2nd, 2005
The word is out that The Foo Fighters are one of the three bands set to headline this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals. Joining the rock quartet will be The Pixies and Iron Maiden, who have both reportedly agreed to headline the weekend.

Of course, this info comes from a festival source who told NME.com: "They've bagged Pixies' only UK shows next year, and there's a chance they could be their last ever in Britain. It's an open secret that Foo Fighters are playing as well."

The announcement looks to be made official come March since that's when tickets for the festival are likely to go on sale. If you so desire to know the absolute latest news about the event, please feel free to visit here.
