After announcing the first big names on the line-up for next year’s Reading and Leeds Festival back in August, organisers have shared the next list of acts who are set to take the stage. Both festivals will run from 27th-29th August 2021, and tickets are on sale now with the recent addition of day tickets. Also announced today were the day splits, so that fans can plan their weekend in advance and be guaranteed an amazing experience.
Playing across the two main stages for the first time ever will be The Wombats, Sigrid, Beabadoobee, KSI, Sports Team, Disclosure, and Yungblud. Previously announced are the headliners: Stormzy, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Post Malone, Disclosure, Liam Gallagher, and Queens Of The Stone Age. Other acts to perform are Lewis Capaldi, Two Door Cinema Club, AJ Tracey, Doja Cat, Mabel, MK, and more. The full line-up can be found below.
The Managing Director of Festival Republic, Melin Benn, spoke about the event in a press release, saying: “After an absence of a year we are delighted to announce the 2021 return to Reading’s Richfield Avenue and Leeds’ Bramham Park in 2021 with our most epic plan yet. Two main stages, six headliners, the best line up of acts 2021 will see and 200,000 fans are going to celebrate the best music in the best music festivals in Britain.”
When Reading and Leeds 2020 festival was cancelled back in May, fans were offered a plan for the future, in which they were promised that “Reading and Leeds in 2021 will be worth the wait.” The line-up included big names Liam Gallagher and Stormzy, who will return next year, along with Rage Against The Machine, Courteneers, Aitch, Sam Fender, Mahalia, and Georgia. Despite its cancellation, the festival went ahead virtually, with archived footage broadcasting on BBC iPlayer.
