Reading and Leeds organisers have confirmed the lineup for the Lock-Up and Dance stages at this year's festivals.

Alkaline Trio, Sick Of It All and Against Me! are among the acts who will play the Lock-Up stage at Reading on Friday, August 27 and Leeds on Sunday, August 29.

On Saturday, August 28 at Reading and Friday, 27 August at Leeds, the same stage hosts Bad Religion, The Get Up Kids, RX Bandits and more.

Mike Davies of Radio 1's The Lock-Up show said: "We've worked long and we've worked hard to come up with a bill that everyone will enjoy and I think we've done a great job.

"If you're a fan of punk rock, hardcore, ska and rock 'n' roll then you're going to want to get to the tent early and be prepared to spend the whole day/night there. That's how good a lineup it is."

The Dance Stage at Reading on Sunday and Leeds on Saturday will feature performances from Roots Manuva, Four Tet, Holy F**k and Sub Focus.

Other acts playing over the festival include Guns N' Roses, Arcade Fire, Blink 182, The Libertines and Dizzee Rascal.
