EMINEM will top the bill at this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals, joining already-confirmed headliners Muse and Kasabian.

Organisers have confirmed a host of additions to the line-up for the events, which run across the August Bank Holiday weekend.

The US rapper returns to the festivals after a headline show in 2013 and was announced alongside the likes of You Me At Six, Billy Talent, Mallory Knox, Giggs, Lethal Bizzle and Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes.
