This year’s edition of the dual festival will be held on the August Bank Holiday Weekend (August 21-24), with Chappell Roan, Travis Scott, Bring Me The Horizon and Hozier have all set to top the bill as headliners. Visit here for remaining tickets.

Other big names on the line-up include Limp Bizkit, D-Block Europe, Heartworms, former Little Mix member Leigh-Anne, AJ Tracey, Lola Young, Becky Hill, Amyl And The Sniffers, Bloc Party, The Kooks, The Dare, Enter Shikari, Wallows, Sea Girls, Mannequin Pussy, Soft Play, and Lambrini Girls.

For 2025, two brand new stages have also been introduced. These are the Smirnoff Stage in Reading and the Reload Stage in Leeds, and both are designed to celebrate “the underground electronic communities blazing a path through modern UK culture”, as well as continue the festival’s “trend of innovation”.

The Aux Stage, described as “the home of pioneering digital creators”, is also returning for this year, as are the in-conversation shows it hosts and the ‘Unplugged’ series. The latter showcases exciting new musicians and offers fans intimate acoustic performances and interviews. The “groundbreaking” Chevron Stage will also be back, hosting dance, electronic pop and hip-hop acts beneath a canopy of lights.

Ahead of things kicking off, Reading & Leeds have shared the official stage times on the festival’s official app. Visit here for more information, and check out a full list of set times below.
