Them Crooked Vultures – the supergroup formed from members of Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age and Led Zeppelin – are believed to be making their UK live debut tonight (August 26).

Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones' band are set to support Arctic Monkeys at their O2 Academy Brixton gig in London, NME.COM understands.

Who will fill the vacant support slot for the sold-out Reading And Leeds Festivals warm-up show has led to a string of rumours over the past week, with names including Britpop veterans Echobelly even suggested as a possibility.

However, while not officially confirmed, the band are favourites to take to the stage tonight at 7.30 pm (BST).

NME.COM will be at the show, so stay tuned for a full report.
