SMASHING PUMPKINS, NINE INCH NAILS Confirmed For U.K.'s READING, LEEDS Festivals

March 19, 2007

BBC News reports that SMASHING PUMPKINS have been confirmed as one of the headliners of the U.K.'s Reading and Leeds festivals.

NINE INCH NAILS, RAZORLIGHT, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, ASH, THE VIEW and THE GOSSIP are among the other acts appearing at the twin events August 24-26.

SMASHING PUMPKINS and the CHILI PEPPERS are not due to appear at any other U.K. summer music festivals.

All tickets for last year's three-day event sold out, with an estimated 80,000 music fans at each site.

The headline acts at last year's event were PEARL JAM and MUSE, who went on to collect the Brit Award for best live act last month.
