Speed, Violet Grohl, Florence Road and more join Reading & Leeds line-up

Reading & Leeds have just shared their next wave of 2026 line-up additions.

Joining the likes of Charli xcx, Chase & Status, Dave, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C., RAYE, Skepta, Sombr, Jade, Kneecap and Geese across the August bank holiday weekend are new acts Speed, Violet Grohl, James Marriott, Florence Road, Tooth, Julia Wolf, Bleech 9:3 and more. The fest have also announced a whole new stage for this summer, The Warehouse, which is set to deliver ‘cutting-edge sound with state-of-the-art lighting for a fully immersive club experience’.

Of course, very recently Violet Grohl announced details of her debut album Be Sweet To Me, which is due out on May 29. When asked by Kerrang! if UK shows were on the horizon, and what they might compare to versus performing with her dad’s band the Foo Fighters, she said, “I was so nervous doing that and had to get in a zone to be able to do that. But playing in front of smaller audiences is so much scarier. You can actually see the reactions on the faces of people, and how they’re responding to what you’re doing in an intimate setting. Will there be shows in the UK? You might hear something soon…”
