Arctic Monkeys will headline Reading & Leeds for the third of their career, having revealed last November that their seventh album was "pretty much" finished. They'll perform on the Main Stage East on Saturday, August 27 (Reading) and Sunday, August 28 (Leeds).

Alex Turner and co's fellow Sheffield band Bring Me The Horizon are due to close the Main Stage West on those same days. Speaking to NME about what to expect, BMTH frontman Oli Sykes said: "We're gonna go hard. We'll make sure it's insane."

He continued: "I've always said that we'd play it when we've earned it, and it's finally come. We have the songs, we have the bangers, and we might not be a household name but I know that we can put on a show that's festival-headline quality." Watch the full video interview with Sykes above.

Earlier this month, Bring Me The Horizon performed a thrilling six-song set at the BandLab NME Awards 2022.
