All the Reading and Leeds main stage headliners have been announced!

Last night the 2 remaining headliners were announced on BBC Radio One: Queens of The Stone Age and Paramore. Reactions to this were generally mixed but many people seemed to be happy with the Queens of The Stone Age booking. However, Paramore were a less favourable announcement than Josh Homme and his gang of alternative rockers. Many argued that Paramore aren't big enough to headline such a major festival. I would disagree with this personally: the American pop punkers have released four albums worth of material (which is a lot), they've sold out Wembley Arena and plus they have a huge fan base. It doesn't matter whatever others think though because I was definitely thrilled at the prospect of these two acts and I bought my weekend ticket shortly after they were announced.

Blink 182 and Arctic Monkeys were revealed in a few previous announcements and the public have been very pleased with these two bookings. Honestly, I can't wait to see these two: Blink 182 are pretty much my childhood band and Arctic Monkeys are arguably the hottest act in the word at the moment. I look forward to these two sets, they should be rather special indeed.

As for the rest of the line up: most people have been very satisfied with it but there have been some minor criticisms. For example, a few have said that Imagine Dragons, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are too far up the bill and I would agree with this yet I would also argue: who else could play those spots? These artists have been hugely successful recently so they'll definitely pull in a massive crowd. Honestly, I can't really think of anyone else who could play these "high up" sets. Maybe Haim could of? This top topic could be debated all day so I'll just leave it there. You can discuss this amongst yourselves.

Also, The 1975 were voted worst band by NME magazine yet they're playing the NME stage? Just thought I'd point that out because it's pretty funny.

Overall though, I am so excited for this year's Reading and Leeds festivals. It should be a blast and I can't wait to hear some great music with all my mates before heading off to university in September. Legendary times await.
