Speed, Violet Grohl, Florence Road and more join Reading & Leeds line-up
Reading & Leeds have just shared their next wave of 2026 line-up additions.
Joining the likes of Charli xcx, Chase & Status, Dave, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C., RAYE, Skepta, Sombr, Jade, Kneecap and Geese across the August bank holiday weekend are new acts Speed, Violet Grohl, James Marriott, Florence Road, Tooth, Julia Wolf, Bleech 9:3 and more. The fest have also announced a whole new stage for this summer, The Warehouse, which is set to deliver ‘cutting-edge sound with state-of-the-art lighting for a fully immersive club experience’.
Of course, very recently Violet Grohl announced details of her debut album Be Sweet To Me, which is due out on May 29. When asked by Kerrang! if UK shows were on the horizon, and what they might compare to versus performing with her dad’s band the Foo Fighters, she said, “I was so nervous doing that and had to get in a zone to be able to do that. But playing in front of smaller audiences is so much scarier. You can actually see the reactions on the faces of people, and how they’re responding to what you’re doing in an intimate setting. Will there be shows in the UK? You might hear something soon…”
Check out both new Reading & Leeds posters below:

Experienced Baristas Needed To Honor Pop Smoke’s Legacy
The Brooklyn drill rapper Pop Smoke’s career was just getting started when he was shot dead in a Los Angeles home-invasion robbery in 2020. When Pop died, he was just 20 years old. In 2025, one of his attackers was sentenced to 29 years in prison. Since Pop’s passing, his estate has released two posthumous albums, the first of which went double platinum. Now, Pop Smoke’s brother is using his name to start a coffee shop, and he needs some experienced baristas.

Live Review: Lamb of God – Theatre of the Living Arts, Philadelphia 3/15/26
Lamb of God
Theatre of the Living Arts, Philadelphia, PA
March 15, 2026photos by AJ Kinney Big Band In A Small Venue is typically a surprise. For Lamb of God, it was the world’s worst kept secret, as Internet publicity had fans packing the 800-cap Theatre of the Living Arts like sardines. By comparison, the other venues for this tour were 3,000 to 5,000 cap. Given the scourge of fees, the all-inclusive $15 tickets meant that the band practically played for free.The crowd was appreciative. Seemingly every camo cap in a 10 mile radius showed up. The setting harked back to 2004, near the start of another Middle Eastern war, with Lamb of God recording Killadelphia in the Trocadero Theatre. Even then, 10 years into their career, they were veterans.
22 years later, Randy Blythe was appreciative. He lovingly and repeatedly mentioned the band’s salad days as Burn the Priest playing West Philly warehouses. (Read more about that here.) The 1-2 punch of “Ruin” and “Laid to Rest” recalled the Killadelphia era; “Walk With Me in Hell” and “Redneck” had people dancing and air guitaring. To see a bunch of mostly 50-somethings still bring it was uplifting to fans who’ve grown up with the band.
But it wasn’t just a set of golden oldies. “Parasocial Christ” and the title track from new album Into Oblivion got people moving. The former was slightly ironic, given the number of phones in the air. The “You Are Being Recorded” sign in Killadelphia would now be unnecessary. Blythe is outspoken about this, but tonight he was all smiles. It was funny to watch his numerous near-misses with bassist John Campbell. Clearly they’re used to bigger stages.
Warmup Show In A Small Venue also has a practical purpose, ironing out kinks. A guitar tech missed an amp switch, briefly causing a clean intro to blast distorted. Mark Morton flubbed the intro to “512”, causing some mirth onstage. But the band more than recovered. One could feel the tide turn as the energy rose and rose, with the final chord unleashing a release that had people screaming and cheering. Put down your phones, folks – there’s still no feeling like live music.

Four KING DIAMOND Alumni Team Up With PAGAN’S MIND Singer In New Band LEX LEGION: “No One Is Writing This Kind Of Music And There’s A Big Hole For Us To Fill”
Four members of King Diamond‘s classic late-’80s lineup have resurfaced together in a new band. Lex Legion brings together guitarist Pete Blakk, bassist Hal Patino, guitarist and producer Andy La Rocque, and drummer Mikkey Dee (the latter best known for over two decades with Motörhead and a decade-long stint with Scorpions) alongside vocalist Nils K. Rue, who built his reputation across five acclaimed albums with Pagan’s Mind.
The band was formed by Dee and Blakk, with the rest of the lineup drawn from over 40 years of shared history. All four instrumentalists appeared together on King Diamond‘s Them and Conspiracy, and all had remained close in the years since, with everyone already knowing Rue through prior collaborative work. La Rocque, a constant presence in King Diamond since 1985 and a contributor to Death‘s landmark Individual Thought Patterns, is quick to draw a distinction between what Lex Legion is and what came before.
The self-titled debut Lex Legion arrives in June 2026 via MNRK Music Group, with the band citing Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche, and Accept as touchstones. Lead single “Sleep Eternally” is out 03/31.
“The song style is different from King Diamond but still from the same era,” he says from his studio in Varberg, Sweden. “The riffs are different, and the arrangements are a little less progressive and a little more straightforward.”
“There are elements of everything on the album,” says La Rocque. “The right tempo and the right kind of vocals, both starting like a fist in your face!”
“This is totally unique. No one is writing this kind of music, and there’s a big hole for us to fill,” states La Rocque. “The album is a journey, and every song is like the beat of a movie. I want listeners to travel back.”
The first single, “Sleep Eternally”, out March 31, sets the tone instantly. Rue‘s soaring pipes and ominous harmonies are framed by Dee‘s unmistakable powerhouse drumming, a clutch of imaginative leads from both guitarists, and shifts of pace and tempo that will satiate King Diamond fans.
Follow-up single “Gypsy Tears” seals the deal — eerie and rapturous, otherworldly and propulsive, evocative and a straight-up headbanger that leaves the listener in no doubt about the thunderous treasures within.
Dee puts it more simply: “Lex Legion is totally written the way we thought in the ’80s,” he says. “We wrote what we wanted, and if you liked it, that was a great bonus. If you didn’t like it, that was fine with us, too! “Enjoy it or fuck off!”
