Metallica, Killers for Reading Festival?

Metallica, Rage Against The Machine and The Killers will reportedly headline this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals.

An official announcement is made on March 31, but according to the Daily Star, the trio of US rock acts will top the bill. Festival organiser Melvin Benn admitted in January that all three headliners would be American.

The Killers revealed today that they will play in Dublin's Marlay Park on August 2, fuelling rumours they will attend the August bank holiday event.

Other acts rumoured to be playing the annual bash include Queens of the Stone Age, Slipknot, The Cribs, Editors, Babyshambles, Gallows and Bloc Party.

Reading and Leeds Festivals take place on August 22-24.
