It might be Christmas time, but we’re already setting our sights on next summer’s festivities as Reading and Leeds Festival 2026 have announced a stacked line-up of acts for 2026 — including Charli XCX, Florence and the Machine, Raye and more. Here’s everything you need to know about the two festivals below:
When is Reading and Leeds 2026 Festival, and who are the headliners?
Set to kick off on the Bank Holiday weekend of Thursday 27 – Sunday 30 August 2026 at Little John’s Farm in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds, Reading and Leeds Festival 2026 has officially announced its headliners — and it’s looking set to be one of the best line-ups ever (in our opinion, anyway).
Posting on Instagram, the official festival poster was revealed, featuring the six headliners: Charli XCX, Chase & Status, Dave, Florence & the Machine, Fontaines D.C. and Raye.
As well as the stellar headline acts, there’s a roster of exciting talent packing out the stages, too. JADE, Kneecap, Skye Newman, and Role Model are among the acts who’ve been officially announced.
