The last few weeks have seen many UK festivals announce their headliners for 2023. Reading and Leeds festival is one-upping them with a second wave announcement, adding over 70 more acts to their impressive line-up. If you’re debating whether to go, we can tell you the recently added artists to get excited about.
At the point, we’re all a bit fed up with the colder weather. Sure, it’s great when you’ve got Christmas, New Year, and even Pancake Day to look forward to — but now we’re all more than ready for the warmer months. Luckily, festival season is getting us very excited for those days as more and more announcements are coming each week. To round off February, Reading and Leeds 2023 are giving us even more.
Reading And Leeds Festival 2023
Taking place from August 24-27 at Richfield Avenue, the festival is promising to be one you don’t want to miss this year.
Kicking off the Reading and Leeds headliners over the three days is Sam Fender taking to the main stage east on Friday. Wet Leg will be on earlier in the day, with Foals over on the main stage west with You Me At Six and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls.
On Saturday, none other than The Killers are headlining on the east stage with Central Cee and Nothing But Thieves. Over on the main stage west will be Lewis Capaldi, with Chase Atlantic and Slow Thai performing too.
Lastly, we have Sunday. Headlining on the east stage is Billie Elish, with Steve Lacy and Deklan McKenna earlier in the day. On the other stage is Imagine Dragons, with Becky Hill and LilTJay.
Weekend tickets start from £286.20. If you’re after individual days, then Friday, Saturday and Sunday will cost you £101.20 each.
Second Wave Of Acts Added To Reading Line Up
Today, (February 2028) a Reading and Leeds announcement added over 70 more acts to their August Bank Holiday blow-out, making the festival even more unmissable.
You can check out when and where the new acts will be performing over the weekend by checking out the poster. For now, here’s the low down on the updated Reading and Leeds festival line up.
First up, we’ve got BRIT award winner Rina Sawayama, who is making her debut at the festival in 2023. Joining her is rising star Mimi Webb and TikTok’s Caity Baser. Because one BRIT award winner wouldn’t be enough, 2022 Rising Star Holly Humberstone is also coming to Reading and Leeds.
Big names also coming to the 2023 festival are Tom Odell, Arlo Parks Easy Life and so many more. Reading is also bringing a huge amount of Dance and Electronic artists with them this year, including Sub Focus, Dimension and Hed Ex. If that’s right up your street, then they’re promising a good time this year.
This might be sounding a little too good to miss, but your budget may not allow it. The festival does offer a payment plan with their tickets so you don’t have to lose a chunk of money in one go. We all deserve to have a good time this summer, and Reading and Leeds festival is guaranteed to give you just that.
