Reflecting the festival's approach to representing the contemporary music scene in Britain, artists span rock, rap, indie, pop and beyond.
Reading and Leeds Festival returned earlier this year after missing the 2020 edition due to the covid pandemic.
Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic said: “Reading & Leeds is set to return as the ultimate festival weekend of the summer: defining the sounds of modern ground breaking music. I cannot wait!”

One of next year's featured headliners, Dave, told
BBC Newsbeat: "It's a massive honour, especially to be in the company of other legends that are headlining.
"To headline a festival of that magnitude and size, I think, is an interesting challenge to do over two dates in two different parts of the UK."
