Ahead of the return of Leeds and Reading Festival this August Bank Holiday Weekend (August 24-26), we will be taking a look at this years jam packed lineup. With festival co-headliners featuring the incredible Fall Out Boy, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Panic At The Disco and Kings Of Leon we wanted to give you our recommendations of ones to watch.

The Faim have had a busy 2018 so far supporting the likes of PVRIS, Lower Than Atlantis and Sleeping With Sirens. The band will return to the UK & Europe later in the Summer for shows with Sum 41 before heading to Reading & Leeds Festival. All this whilst recording new music ready for the release of their highly anticipated debut album. This band will most certainly be a hit with the festival crowd.
