Festival line-up update: Reading & Leeds, Gottwood, Rock Werchter, and more

By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 4 December 2013

So, this is big. A first wave of artists added simultaneously to 2014’s so-far-identical Reading and Leeds festival bills. Headliners Blink 182 will review their very finest hits, and as an extra gift to fans, air their TBA seventh LP for the first time.

Of that, the band’s Mark Hoppus says: “I’m stoked to play Reading and Leeds 2014. It’s our fourth time playing the festivals, and we’re very honoured. The new year will see us in the studio preparing new music, getting ready to rock the fine people of the UK. Prepare for the fury”.
