My Chemical Romance, The Strokes and Muse on Reading and Leeds Festival leak?

Reading and Leeds Festival line-up leaked early?

So, we at Spoonfed aren’t often keen on fuelling rumours, but when it comes to something like Reading and Leeds Festivals, even we bow to the pressure.  There has been speculation for months about who will play this year’s festival, with names being thrown around left right and centre.

Today, Twitter has been awash with who could possibly be announced ahead of this evening’s big reveal. One tweet however caught our eye. It’s no secret that music magazines get delivered to newsagents a couple of days before being distributed to the public and so, in newsagents up and down the country, copies of NME and Kerrang! sit closely guarded by staff with the Reading/Leeds announcements printed.

One naughty member of staff however, seems to have taken a photo of the line-up and posted it on the net. The photo, laid out in the official “yellow poster” manner states heavily rumoured My Chemical Romance, The Strokes and Muse are set to headline this year’s festivals. With 30 Seconds to Mars, Pulp, Elbow, Interpol and Beady Eye all set to play too.

We’re not totally sure if this is the real deal or not, but it looks legit to us.
