Reading and Leeds Festivals announce first wave of acts

Reading and Leeds Festivals will once again be raging on through the late August Bank Holiday this year, in what promises to be another raucous gathering of young music fans from all over the country and beyond. While many will go to the festivals regardless of who is playing, the dual festivals have today revealed the first wave of acts for the weekend, and it’s a pretty stacked bill.

Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar and Kings Of Leon will headline, while other big names include Wolf Alice, Panic! At The Disco, Post Malone, Skepta and Diplo. There’s also some a nice mix of up-and-comers like Dua Lipa, Brockhampton, Pale Waves and J Hus, alongside old-school favourites like Papa Roach and Sum 41.

It certainly promises to be quite a heady affair, as usual. Check out the full lineup here and buy your tickets for Reading here and for Leeds here.
