Excitement for the Reading and Leeds Festival 2025 continues to build as organisers have announced new additions to the lineup, including Limp Bizkit, D-Block Europe, Example, Bakar, Nemzzz, and Jazzy as well as many other artists. These fresh acts join an already impressive roster headlined by Travis Scott, Hozier, Bring Me The Horizon, and Chappell Roan, promising a diverse and unforgettable experience for festivalgoers.
One of the biggest surprises in today’s announcement is the addition of Limp Bizkit, the legendary rap-rock band known for hits like ‘Break Stuff‘ and ‘Rollin’. The band, led by frontman Fred Durst, has been making a resurgence in recent years, and their inclusion in the lineup is sure to draw a massive crowd especially paired alongside Bring Me The Horizon. Known for their high-energy performances and mosh-pit-inducing anthems, Limp Bizkit’s set is bound to be a highlight of the weekend 10 years on from their last performance at the festival.
UK rap duo D-Block Europe is also joining the lineup, adding a strong hip-hop presence to the festival. The duo, consisting of Young Adz and Dirtbike LB, has gained a massive following with their unique rap style and chart-topping hits like ‘Overseas’ and ‘Darling’ featuring Central Cee. Their set is expected to be a major draw, especially for fans of UK drill and Afroswing-infused rap.
Festival icon Example returns to Reading and Leeds, bringing his signature mix of electronic and rap hits. With classics like ‘Kickstarts’ and ‘Changed the Way You Kiss Me’, Example has been a festival favourite for years and is always successful at getting the crowd to go insane.
Additionally, Bakar, Nemzzz, and Jazzy have been added to the lineup, further enriching the festival’s diverse music offering. Bakar, known for his genre-blending sound that fuses indie rock with hip-hop, has gained a loyal following with tracks like ‘Hell N Back’. Nemzzz continues to rise in the UK rap scene with his smooth flow and viral tracks like ‘Escape‘. Meanwhile, Irish DJ and singer Jazzy brings an different electronic and dance element to the festival, with her hit ‘Giving Me ‘expected to bring energy to the festival.
These new additions compliment an already stacked lineup featuring Travis Scott, Hozier, Bring Me The Horizon, Chappell Roan, AJ Tracey, Becky Hill, among many others. With such a diverse range of artists spanning rap, rock, indie, and electronic music, Reading and Leeds 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting editions of the festival in years.
The Reading and Leeds Festival 2025 will take place from August 21 to 24, 2025, across the two iconic sites. Tickets are currently on sale, with both weekend and day passes available.
