One of the UK’s biggest festivals returns next year, as Reading & Leeds reveal their first lineup offering, including six headliners.
Topping the bill across the August Bank Holiday weekend are Charli xcx, Chase & Status, Dave, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C. and RAYE.
For the first time in 25 years, this sees an exclusively British and Irish set of headliners.
Another talking point comes from Leeds Festival, as for the first time in the event’s history, Thursday will have a Main Stage headliner in the shape of Kasabian.
Elsewhere across the line up are Skepta, Sombr, Role Model, Jade, Kneecap, Geese, Keo and plenty more!
All six headliners are UK festival exclusive performances, and for Chase & Status it will be their only live performance anywhere in 2026.
More lineup news will follow in the coming months, including the eagerly anticipated TBC covered name on this week’s big reveal.
