26TH – 28TH AUGUST 2016, BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND

SOUTHAMPTON's Frank Turner has been added to the line-up at the Reading & Leeds Festival.

After breaking the record for consecutive appearances at the festival last year with his ninth straight set, festival hero Frank is set to make it a decade of singalongs and heart-on-your-sleeve performances as he takes to the stage this summer. His catalogue of distinctively British anthems has seen the troubadour stand as a true Reading & Leeds icon. Celebrating his tenth appearance in a row, Frank will open the Main Stage with a truly unique set this summer.

Frank Turner commented:

“I'm very happy to be making my tenth annual return to Reading and Leeds Festival this summer. That's the record, by miles, and I'm proud of it. They've always been supportive of my career, loyal to me, and I'm more than happy to repay that in kind. It's the best festival in the UK.”

The Reading & Leeds festival takes place August 26-28 over the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Headliners include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foals, Biffy Clyro, Disclosure and Fall Out Boy.
