Reading & Leeds have announced their 2025 line-up with Chappell Roan, Travis Scott and Bring Me The Horizon topping the bill.
Split across 2 sites set in Bramham Park (Leeds) and Little John’s Farm (Reading), the first four headliners announced include Travis Scott, Bring Me The Horizon, Hozier and Chappell Roan.
Other acts announced include AJ Tracey, Rudimental, Wallows, Soft Play, High Vis, Mannequin Pussy, Becky Hill, Enter Shikari, The DARE, Suki Waterhouse, Girls Don’t Sync, The Kooks and Sea Girls.
With a headline slot at America’s biggest festival Coachella next year, Travis Scott is a worthy name to top the bill in 2025. The Houston rapper’s appearance at the 2018 edition of Reading & Leeds drew one of the biggest crowds of the weekend with smash-hit ‘SICKO MODE’.
Dabbling in metalcore and electronica, Bring Me The Horizon have proven themselves to be Sheffield’s most successful export and one of the UK’s most enduring rock bands this decade. After a busy year full of concerts promoting their new record Post Human: Next Gen, fans will no doubt be excited to see the band headlining for their first and perhaps only UK festival appearance of 2025.
Living through 2024 and being blissfully unaware of the meteoric rise of Chappell Roan would be a big achievement for anyone – almost as big as the Missouri singer headlining the festival for the first time thanks to the slow burn success of her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
Last year, Reading & Leeds welcomed big names such as Lana Del Rey, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Blink-182, The Prodigy, Liam Gallagher and Gerry Cinnamon.
