The first headline act for Reading and Leeds 2015 has been announced as...Metallica

Metallica to headline Reading Festival 2015 - Get Reading

The festival headliners are getting really stale in my opinion. It's the same old same old.

There don't seem to be any newer acts who seem capable of making the step up from arenas to headlining stadiums.

My Chemical Romance made it then split. Blackstone Cherry haven't made the jump yet, it's just not really happening. Probably Muse and Slipknot were the last two to make it.

Bad news for Dave Mustaine!

"...Rudd missed his 9AM court appointment, prompting the judge to issue a warrant for his arrest...After appearing before the judge for a brief hearing, in which he offered no plea to charges of threatening to kill a man and methamphetamine and cannabis possession...Rudd reportedly jumped on his security guard’s back, offered some rude hand gestures to photographers and narrowly avoided colliding with a truck after reversing his car into its path"
