90s Alternative Metallers Faith No More have self-confirmed appearances at the Reading and Leeds festivals in August. The listing appeared in the band’s tour dates section before being removed, but not before the whole world seeming to have read it first.
The announcement has surprised many, with the band believed to have signed an exclusive contract with Live Nation to play the Download Festival. It is unclear at this time whether this contract is in relation to main stage headliner status only, with FNM though to be a second stage candidate at Reading.
The Reading and Leeds festivals take place 28-30 August. Though the lineup sucks to be honest. Sue me.

Right, Fancore wants to play a game with you. Pick your ideal 2009 Reading lineup. Simples. Okay AC/DC, Blink 182 and Green Day or Kings of Leon, Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys. Okay 3, 2, 1…yup, thought so. Sadly the Reading organisers didn’t agree with you.
So while the rest of us go to Download, Bloodstock and Sonisphere to see real music, the scarf and tie set will trot off looking smug as fuck to this celebration of all things NME. Check out the horror for yourself at THIS link.
Fuck it, at least Deftones will be there. Dear lord though. Fuck.

Blink 182‘s Mark Hoppus has quashed rumours that the recently reformed band are booked for this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals.
In a recent Twitter update the singer/bassist said: “blink182 has not been confirmed for reading/leeds festivals. doesn’t mean it won’t happen. love those festivals. but we are not booked yet.”
British band Arctic Monkeys have already been announced as one of the headliners for the festivals, via Radio One this morning. Rumours for the other two range from Green Day to Radiohead.
The full line-up for the festivals will be announced tonight at 7pm and can be found here, the minute it all happens. We’re hoping that the festivals will offer more rock that the Arctic Monkeys can give us, but by the looks of some of the rumoured bands it might just be a shrine to the Indie bands who seem to be taking over the world, one cardigan at a time…
