The eclectic line-up for the Reading and Leeds Festivals 2024 have been revealed!

The two music festivals will feature Fred again, Liam Gallagher, Blink-182, Gerry Cinnamon, Lana Del Ray, and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Raye, Skrillex, Spiritbox, and Digga D, would also set the stage on fire for the four-day event.

Gallagher's appearance aligns with his upcoming Definitely Maybe tour celebrating 30 years of the iconic Oasis album. Fred again will make history as the first electronic artist to close the festival, following impressive performances at Madison Square Garden and Glastonbury in recent months.


Speaking after the announcement, Gallagher said: "I'm gonna be playing Reading & Leeds the most RnR festivals we have left in the UK. Be there or be square LGx." Meanwhile, Gerry Cinnamon added: "Reading and Leeds. Last time was absolutely f***ing bananas. Was the first gig straight out of lockdown, heavily emotional. Headlining now so we'll take it up another level again. Buzzing to be back. See you there."

The lineup for the Reading and Leeds Festivals has been partially revealed after weeks of speculation. Tickets for the festivals have been temporarily taken offline and are expected to be available for sale again in the new year. The anticipation was fueled by rumors, with DJ and singer Fred Againsuggesting a possible headlining slot.

On Wednesday, the singer took to Instagram to share two stories for his fans, one reading: "The only UK festivals I am playing next year is the first festival I ever went to," before the text cut off. He added: "I wasn't on purposefully teasing. Well, I was but not in that bit."

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."
