FORMER Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is to perform at Leeds Festival this year.

The controversial rock and roll star will be at Bramham Park for the three day festival, which runs alongside performances in Reading.

Gallagher, who is synonymous with Brit Pop and the sibling rivalry with his brother Noel, will be bringing his highly anticipated solo performance, described as "an attitude filled performance fuelled with Oasis classics and tracks from his debut solo record", to the festival.

Other confirmed acts for this year include alt-rocker PVRIS, Def Jam star Vince Staples and Goldie.
