Mad Cool reveal first names for 2025 including Weezer, Thirty Seconds To Mars and St. Vincent
Weezer and Thirty Seconds To Mars join the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Iggy Pop and Noah Kahan atop next year’s Mad Cool Festival bill.
Reading & Leeds 2019 have revealed the festival's stage times. Get excited.
As Reading & Leeds 2019 draws ever closer, the festival have unveiled the stage times for the August bank holiday bash so we can all get planning who we're going to see across the weekend.
And from twenty one pilots' debut headline slot to the return of Foo Fighters topping the bill for the fourth time, there's a lot to get excited about. In fact, the Foos even recently asked fans to help pick their R&L setlists, so surely they'll be pulling out all the stops…
We asked twenty one pilots frontman Tyler Joseph what fans can expect from his and Josh Dun's performance, and he enthused:
“It’s tough to get everything in our live show to translate over into a festival set, but there’s something special about festivals, and something special about being outside, too. And that set is going to be like no other set we’ve ever played. There’s definitely an air of unpredictability, and you don’t really know exactly what to expect. You’d be a fool to assume that everybody is there to watch you – or even know who you are. So there’s a bit of a competitive edge to it, because there’s so many awesome bands on the bill, and so being motivated to rise above that giant pool of talent, and to make your mark, is something that we’re really excited to step up to that challenge.
“The last time we played Reading was one of my favourite sets ever. I did a stage-dive and climbed over the top of 10,000 people, and had a few people pulling on me in the process, but I rather enjoyed it! I thought it was a lot of fun, and the energy was amazing. I can’t wait to do it all over again – we’ll see what happens this time…”
