August 27–2026 (day: 30) · Reading and Leeds, Berkshire and West Yorkshire, United Kingdom · Richfield Avenue (Reading) & Bramham Park (Leeds)
The Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals that take place simultaneously over the August Bank Holiday weekend in England. Sharing the same lineup, the festivals are a cornerstone of the UK music scene, featuring a diverse range of genres including rock, indie, hip-hop, and electronic music. The 2026 edition marks a historic milestone with an all-British and Irish headliner bill for the first time in 25 years, featuring acts like Charli XCX, Dave, and Florence + The Machine. For the first time, the Leeds site will also host a Main Stage headliner on Thursday night.
The festival employs extensive sustainability measures including the use of vacuum toilets to significantly reduce water waste, 'Leave No Trace' campsite campaigns, and comprehensive recycling and waste management initiatives to reduce the event's carbon footprint.
