🎸 READING & LEEDS FESTIVAL 2026: LINEUP, HEADLINERS & BIGGEST HITS

Reading & Leeds is back! And 2026 is looking seriously good. From 27 - 30 August, two of the UK's biggest festival sites are coming alive for another massive Bank Holiday weekend. And this year's lineup? Absolutely stacked 🎸

🔥 THE HEADLINERS ARE HUGE

Charli XCX, Dave, RAYE, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C. and Chase & Status lead a lineup jumping between pop, rap, indie, rock and electronic. And the potential singalong moments are already looking massive

• Charli XCX - 360, Apple, Von dutch, Boom Clap

• Dave - Starlight, Location, Verdansk, Thiago Silva

• RAYE - Escapism., WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!, Oscar Winning Tears.

• Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over, Shake It Out, You've Got the Love, Spectrum (Say My Name)

• Fontaines D.C. - Favourite, Starburster, I Love You, Boys in the Better Land

• Chase & Status - Baddadan, BACKBONE, Blind Faith, End Credits

Imagine thousands screaming “Dog Days Are Over”, losing it to “Baddadan” or turning the festival into one giant BRAT party during “Apple”. Yeah… this could get special. 

And that's before Skepta, Kneecap, JADE, Role Model, Loyle Carner, Holly Humberstone and plenty more even enter the conversation.

AND THEN THERE'S KASABIAN 🎸

You can't talk about Reading & Leeds without some proper indie chaos and Kasabian are bringing exactly that. 

Expect absolute festival weapons like “Club Foot,” “Fire,” “Underdog” and “L.S.F. ”.

The countdown is ON

At this point, there's nothing left to say - Reading & Leeds weekend is here.

Charge your phone, save your favourite acts, prepare for at least one painful clash and accept that your shoes probably aren't coming home clean.  See you down the front!
