The full line-up will be unveiled on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show later today.

Legendary rock band Foo Fighters will close Reading on Sunday, while The 1975 will warm the headline slot on Friday night.

Twenty One Pilots will likely be Saturday's penultimate act before American rapper Post Malone, though the order has not yet been confirmed.

Once again the line-up has divided fans with some branding it the "worst to date", while others have called it the "best in years".

One ranted: "What a load of sh***. Literally 2 good bands announced."

Another slammed: "Gotta be the worst R&L line-up to date."

However, there were plenty who disagreed and praised festival-makers for pulling a quality line-up out of the bag.

One excited fan wrote: "HOLY S**T. It’s not ‘may’, it IS OUR YEAR. This is the best lineup announcement they have had in years."

Another concurred: "This is the best lineup ever Thankyou so much for making my life, while a third chimed: "Much Better than last year, thank you."

Kings of Leon, Kendrick Lamar, Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy headlined the 2018 festival.
