Another three Aussies have been confirmed to play UK's prominent Reading and Leeds festivals this August.

Brisbane thrash-pop pair DZ Deathrays along with Sydney electro outfits RÜFÜS and Panama have been added to the simultaneous festivals, joining the already announced locals of producer Flume, American-based rocker Brody Dalle and pop-punks Tonight Alive.

The likes of Blink-182, Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Paramore and Vampire Weekend are headlining the events, which take place from Friday 22 to Sunday 24 August. Reading, the older of the two, is held at Richfield Avenue with Leeds taking place at Bramham Park.
