LONDON -- Reading & Leeds Festival has just announced a huge chunk of its line-up, and it's shaping up to be an epic weekend.

Foals and Disclosure are going to co-headline one night at the August weekender, with Fetty Wap, Imagine Dragons, Two Door Cinema Club and Crystal Castles also added to the bill.

They join other headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as The 1975 and Courteeners, who were previously announced. A third headliner is yet to be revealed.

Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis said that headlining on the Main Stage in front of tens of thousands is "the biggest moment of our career." He admitted he's "had a thing" for Reading after seeing a video of Nirvana's classic 1992 appearance.

Guy Lawrence from Disclosure, meanwhile, said it was a "humongous" deal for them. "It is pretty crazy to think we are going to be on top of the bill because it is such a predominantly rock [place], even though they do have dance acts," he added.
