Reading & Leeds have confirmed next year’s day splits for the 10 acts they’ve announced so far.
Fresh from unveiling the first wave of artists – including headliners blink-182, plus Skrillex and Spiritbox – the fests have revealed what days you can catch everyone (so far) from Friday, August 23 to Sunday, August 25.
Kerrang! favourites blink-182 and Spiritbox will both be playing on the same day – Friday at Reading and Saturday at Leeds – on the same day that Gerry Cinnamon also headlines.
Elsewhere, Fred again.. and Lana Del Rey will be topping the bill on the Saturday at Reading and Sunday at Leeds, with Raye and Digga D also playing then, too. And so finally that leaves Liam Gallagher, Catfish And The Bottleman and Skrillex all performing on the Sunday at Reading, and the Friday at Leeds.
Since confirming their day splits, the festival have also said: “Reminder. Like always, no headliner clashes.”
“We are thrilled to announce the first wave of artists for Reading & Leeds 2024,” said Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic, last week. “I am very proud that the biggest artists in the world choose to play Reading & Leeds and to have three incredible UK festival exclusives – the electrifying Fred again.., a true generational talent Lana Del Rey and the legendary blink-182. The iconic Liam Gallagher will return to play an all-time classic album Definitely Maybe which will be a special moment indeed. We pride ourselves on nurturing artists from the early stages in their career, so to see acts like Catfish And The Bottlemen rising through the festival to headline for the second time is very rewarding.
“2023 was a hugely successful year for attendance and sensational audience feedback, and we are eager to build upon this success even further at the UK's biggest and best music festival.”
