Biffy Clyro have announced they will headlining Reading & Leeds 2021, replacing Queens Of The Stone Age at the August Bank Holiday festival.

Queens Of The Stone Age had been set to co-headline the festival alongside Liam Gallagher but announced they would no longer be able to perform due to "restrictions and logistics." Along with the announcement, the American rock band tweeted, "We hope everyone has a GREAT time at the festivals & look forward to returning to the UK in 2022."

Scottish rock trio Biffy Clyro were "delighted and honoured" to be headliners for the festival for the third time, as they wrote in a tweet. They will join the festival's five other headliners – Liam Gallagher, Disclosure, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Post Malone, and Stormzy.

In addition to Queens Of The Stone Age, artists like Madison Beer, Denzel Curry, Sofi Tukker, Super Whatevr, Wallows, Oliver Tree, Tate McRae, MizorMac, and Nation of Language have had to pull out of the festival and will no longer be able to perform.

Additional names have been added to the Reading & Leeds 2021 lineup, including Irish rock band Inhaler, who were the recent cover stars for Hot Press, and Holly Humberstone.
