The 1975 will replace Lewis Capaldi at this year's Reading Festival.

The band will headline the Saturday night and play their debut album in its entirety to mark the 10th anniversary of its release.

Lewis Capaldi announced he was taking a break from live performances after visibly struggling during his set at the Glastonbury Festival.

He announced afterwards he would pause to focus on his physical and mental health.

The 1975 also stepped in at last year's Reading festival after Rage Against The Machine pulled out.
