Hold on to your novelty festival hats R+L fans, the most commanding hips in rock are about to land on your doorsteps. Boasting a swagger that could influence weather patterns and one of the best albums of 2013 come Queens Of The Stone Age, ready to finally take their place on top of a Reading festival bill on Friday night.
The Queens share top-billing with Paramore, who close the Main Stage at Leeds the following night, and will struggle to decide what to leave out from six albums of classic tracks and recent favourites in front of an ardent accumulation of all-weather friends.
QOTSA's riff-laden style has won many admirers over the years, including fellow-headliners Arctic Monkeys, who've adopted many of the signature traits in recent album AM. Arctic's frontman Alex Turner guests on ...Like Clockwork, alongside an illustrious group of collaborators, including Trent Reznor, James Lavelle, Elton John and sometime drummer Dave Grohl. It remains to be seen if Elton, Trent or Dave turn up in August but we can be sure we're in for one hell of a hip swinging night.
