Americans in Europe, Springsteen in Milwaukee
The BBC reported on Monday that three American acts would be headlining this year’s legendary Reading and Leeds Festivals. Today, we got an idea as to who those three headliners might be.
For the first time in the history of the two festivals, all three headliners will be from the United States.
While [Melvin] Benn has refused to name the three acts, Rage Against The Machine, Green Day and Foo Fighters are the most likely combination. Outsiders could include My Chemical Romance, The Killers or Kings Of Leon.
In other news, Bruce Springsteen will headline Harley-Davidson 105th anniversary celebration on August 30th.
On August 28-31, Harley-Davidson celebrates its 105th anniversary at the Summerfest Grounds in Milwaukee, and they’ve just announced that Springsteen and the E Streeters will play as part of the festivities on Saturday, August 30.
The three-day festival will also feature the likes Blue Oyster Cult, Peter Frampton, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and The Black Crowes among others. This however, has nothing to do with Summerfest, which takes place between July 26 and June 8. There had been some initial confusion as to whether these two festivals are related.
