More than 80 new names have been confirmed for Reading and Leeds.
Joining the line-up are Waterparks, Demae, Leigh-Anne, Still Woozy, Charlotte Plank, late night drive home, LYVIA, Bartees Strange, Brittany Broski (in conversation with Max Balegde in Reading, Charley Marlowe in Leeds), Skye Newman, The Pill, Cliffords, and more that you can check out in full below.
Managing Director of Festival Republic, Melvin Benn said:
“Reading & Leeds never stands still. We’re always listening to the audience and thinking of how to deliver the value and experiences that they demand.
"This summer, we’re adding a new underground electronic stage at both sites and boosting our late night offering for those who want to dance into the early hours. This continues the massively successful precedent set last year, with the award‑winning Chevron Stage and The Aux - which has already attracted huge stars like Brittany Broski for her debut festival show.
"The BBC Introducing Stage also returns and it truly is at R&L where it transforms careers. Our free, overhauled camping options are also really resonating. With nearly half of Leeds weekend ticket holders having already signed up and Reading close behind, our investment in elevating what general camping at UK festival can be is paying off.
"To have a weekend with historic headline moments like Chappell Roan, alongside emerging talent and influential voices, I am proud of R&L’s continued development and I can’t wait to see fans embracing it all.”
The weekend will be headlined by Travis Scott, Chappell Roan, Hozier and Bring Me The Horizon, with Scott, Roan and Hozier making their debut headline appearances, and Hozier and BMTH both topping the line-up as festival exclusives.
The event will return to Richfield Avenue and Bramham Park over the August bank holiday weekend. First staged in 1961, Reading is the original of the two and is the world’s oldest popular music festival still in existence.
Since 2022, it boasts two main stages: Main Stage East and Main Stage West. The bill always guarantees a diverse range of acts, including the finest in rock, punk, indie, metal, and more recently electronic and rap artists, from around the world.
Head below to keep up to date with the latest line-up news.
