Liam Gallagher has broken the news that he's performing at Reading and Leeds Festivals next year, before the festival has even announced the lineup.

The "Shockwave" singer couldn't wait until the festivals revealed his name on the lineup, and decided to announce the news himself this afternoon (29 November).

Gallagher wrote on Twitter, "Reading and Leeds c’mon you know."
