MCR's Gerard Way among 50 more acts for Reading and Leeds

THE backstage areas at Reading and Leeds Festivals are going to be rammed this year - the organisers have just added another 50 acts to an already bulging bill.

Topping the list of new additions is former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way performing his first ever solo UK show.

And ensuring there is lots for every musical taste on the line-up, hip-hop heavyweight Schoolboy Q has signed up along with Maverick Sabre, as have Aussie thrash-pop duo DZ Deathrays and screamo titans La Dispute.

Sigma, Indiana, We Came As Romans, Brutality Will Prevail, We Are Scientists and Little Matador are also among the gazillion new additions that are too many to list here.

But if you do want the full list - as well as how to get any of the remaining tickets - head over to readingfestival.com or leedsfestival.com now. Now dammit!
