Charli XCX confirmed for Reading and Leeds Festival. How to get tickets

It might be Christmas time, but we’re already setting our sights on next summer’s festivities as Reading and Leeds Festival 2026 have announced a stacked line-up of acts for 2026 — including Charli XCX, Florence and the Machine, Raye and more. Here’s everything you need to know about the two festivals below:

When is Reading and Leeds 2026 Festival, and who are the headliners?

Set to kick off on the Bank Holiday weekend of Thursday 27 – Sunday 30 August 2026 at Little John’s Farm in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds, Reading and Leeds Festival 2026 has officially announced its headliners — and it’s looking set to be one of the best line-ups ever (in our opinion, anyway).

Posting on Instagram, the official festival poster was revealed, featuring the six headliners: Charli XCX, Chase & Status, Dave, Florence & the Machine, Fontaines D.C. and Raye.
