Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic said: “Reading & Leeds never stands still. We’re always listening to the audience and thinking of how to deliver the value and experiences that they demand.This summer, we’re adding a new underground electronic stage at both sites and boosting our late night offering for those who want to dance into the early hours. This continues the massively successful precedent set last year, with the award‑winning Chevron Stage and The Aux - which has already attracted huge stars like Brittany Broski for her debut festival show. The BBC Introducing Stage also returns and it truly is at R&L where it transforms careers.Our free, overhauled camping options are also really resonating. With nearly half of Leeds weekend ticket holders having already signed up and Reading close behind, our investment in elevating what general camping at UK festival can be is paying off.To have a weekend with historic headline moments like Chappell Roan, alongside emerging talent and influential voices, I am proud of R&L’s continued development and I can’t wait to see fans embracing it all.”
Reading and Leeds 2024 saw Liam Gallagher, Blink 182, Catfish And The Bottlemen, Gerry Cinnamon, Fred Again... and Lana Del Rey headline, with the likes of The Prodigy, Fontaines D.C., The Last Dinner Party, 21 Savage, Pendulum, Raye, Bleachers and Barry Can't Swim also on the bill.
