    Metallica to headline Reading & Leeds 2015, Jamie T and Run The Jewels also on the bill

    Metallica, Jamie T and Run The Jewels are among the first names confirmed to perform at next year's Reading & Leeds Festivals.

    Organisers today (November 25) confirmed the US metal legends will headline the main stage at the event in 2015, their first time at the festival since topping the bill in 2008.

    Also appearing next year is Jamie T, who made a surprise appearance on the Reading site this year, playing a secret show to a packed tent.

    In addition, Run The Jewels, Refused, Manchester Orchestra, Pierce The Veil, and Wilkinson are also confirmed.

    Id recommend leeds over Reading if youre yet to buy rickets, can fly into manchester, get a bus straight from there..
    Better atmosphere, people genuinely there for music,.not just to get on TV, good few more.Irish there too!

    Plus at Leeds you've music throughout the night with 2 nightclub things in the campsites..

    Just thoughts..

    If it was up to me personally I wouldn't mind, must get the group consensus to see what we're doing though. Cheers anyway

    Cant see them headline if they do play , it would either be a 2nd stage headliner or subbing again just incase they pull out

    LEEDS is the way to go, much better setting, have been 5 times and it is by far one of my favorite festivals. Last year a lot of the bands even said Leeds was better.

    The world has truly gone to **** when Mumford are allowed to headline.

    If there were any justice they'd have been burnt at stake for the witches they are a long time ago.

    I count 4 acts I would want to see on that poster. 1 on the Friday, 3 on the Saturday, 2 of which look to be clashing. Not worth it but unless Metallica announce an Irish date, day ticket may be on the agenda!

    Tempted to get day ticket for Metallica/BMTH/Royal Blood.

    Just the logistics need to be sorted.

    Are they awkward to get to? Do buses/trains run well after the day ends?

    Here's last year's bus timetable, they seem to have had buses going after each night of the festival to Leeds Bus Station, so should be pretty easy to get to the airport from there.

    It just gets worse :D:D. I suppose the special guest is someone playing at another fest? Could be Faith No More given they played both Download and R&L in 09.
