The annual Reading & Leeds Festival has been held since the early 1960s, with the Reading leg being the longest-running music festival in the UK.
Originally known as the National Jazz Festival, the fest has changed and evolved over the decades to become one of the leading rock, metal and alternative festivals during the late 90s and early 00s.
These days the lineup has become much more diverse. Hip hop and pop have infiltrated the bill, with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Megan Thee Stallion and Post Malone all performing crowd pleasing sets over the past couple of years.
This year’s event was headlined by punk comedians Blink-182, electronic fav Fred Again.., former Oasis member Liam Gallagher, Americana singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, UK act Catfish and the Bottlemen and Scottish indie-folk troubadour Gerry Cinnamon.
Reading & Leeds Festival takes place at Richfield Avenue, Reading and Bramham Park, Leeds, UK, from Thursday, August 21 to Sunday, August 24 2025. Tickets are on sale now via readingandleedsfestival.com.
