The full stage times for Reading & Leeds 2026 have been revealed – check them out below.
This year’s festivals will take place over the Bank Holiday Weekend from Thursday August 27 to Sunday August 30, with headline performances from Florence + The Machine, Charli XCX, Fontaines D.C., Dave, RAYE and Chase & Status.
Other artists appearing across the weekend include Skepta, Sombr, Role Model, JADE, Kneecap, Geese, Skye Newman, Holly Humberstone, Gurriers, Westside Cowboy, Declan McKenna, Maisie Peters, Paris Paloma, Overpass and Duke Dumont.
For the first time, Leeds has also been granted permission to host music on the Thursday night, with Kasabian headlining after sets from The Lathums and Arkayla.
The festivals are undergoing the biggest staging and arena overhaul in their history, with the former Main Stage being renamed The Grid and being joined by new stages The Gallery and The Warehouse.
Festival boss Melvin Benn has told NME that the changes had made him “as excited about Reading & Leeds as I’ve ever been”.
The set times are now available through the official Reading and Leeds websites and the festival app. Check out the complete schedules below.
Times are all subject to change.
