The first wave of acts for 2015's Reading and Leeds Festival have been announced this afternoon and it sees the likes of Mumford & Sons headlining the summer event. 

Metallica have already been confirmed for the festival, but the 'I Will Wait' hitmakers will join them on the main stage later this year. Royal Blood, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Bastille, Pretty Vicious, and Wolf Alice have also been added to the bill. 

This year's event will take place between August 28th to 30th and festival boss Melvin Benn comments: “I’m delighted to have secured Mumford & Sons for Main Stage headliners this summer and can’t wait to see them return to the Festivals for their first UK performance in over two years… The Reading & Leeds line-up is already shaping up to be one of the best ever and I’m looking forward to revealing the third headliner and even more great artists soon.”

The full list of bands and artists that have already been announced for the bank holiday weekend music event can be seen listed on the poster below.
