Reading & Leeds 2022 will also host headline gigs from The 1975, Bring Me The Horizon, Halsey, Dave and Megan Thee Stallion across its two main stages this weekend. Other acts on the bill include Little Simz, Fontaines D.C., Glass Animals and Bastille.
Pendulum, meanwhile, appear to be teasing a secret set at Reading with a cryptic poster that’s been spotted on the festival site.
Earlier this summer, Wargasm spoke to NME about what fans can expect from their upcoming ‘Explicit…’ mixtape and debut studio album.
“The mixtape is less about being catchy and having good, refined songwriting,” explained Sam Matlock. “It’s more about fucking about and seeing how it feels.”
The group revealed that their first full-length record was “pretty much done” too, and will contain “some cool, hard shit”.
‘Explicit…’ has already been previewed by the recent singles ‘Fukstar’ and ‘D.R.I.L.D.O.’.
