Reading & Leeds has unveiled the first batch of artists confirmed to perform on its dual stages in 2026, indicating that next year could be one of the festival's greatest yet. Both venues will feature six major headliners: guitar legends Fontaines DC; cultural innovator Charli XCX; rap sensation Dave; soul-pop star RAYE; the ethereal Florence + The Machine; and drum and bass favorites Chase & Status. This marks the first time in 25 years that Reading & Leeds has a complete lineup of British and Irish headliners, and the August bank holiday weekend will also serve as a UK festival exclusive for all six performances. Additionally, for the first time ever, Leeds will host Main Stage acts on Thursday, led by festival giants Kasabian. The lineup for the weekend (at both Reading and Leeds) also includes artists like Skepta, JADE, Role Model, Sombr, and Geese. Many more artists are yet to be revealed, but we believe this is already an impressive start. Reading & Leeds 2026 will occur from August 27th to 30th at Richfield Avenue (Reading) and Bramham Park (Leeds). Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 12pm this Wednesday, December 3rd, here. Take a look at the exciting lineup for both festivals so far below.
