Thousands of music lovers will attend Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend (August 26 to 28) to see a whole host of acts perform. Taking place at Reading’s Richfield Avenue and Leeds’s Bramham Park, festival goers will see the likes of Artic Monkeys, Dave and The 1975 take to the stages over the jam-packed weekend.
Earlier this month it was announced that rock band The 1975 will now headline Reading and Leeds Festival after stepping in to replace Rage Against The Machine. The band, fronted by Matty Healy, will be taking the vacant headline slot for both events over the weekend.
Rage Against the Machine were forced to withdraw earlier this week due to frontman Zack de la Rocha suffering a leg injury. It will be The 1975 fans' first chance to see the band live in the UK since 2020.
