It’s that time of year again, the sun is (mostly) out, new music is dropping, and festival season is just around the corner. With less than 100 days to go until Reading Festival, we’re counting down the days to one of the best weekends of the summer.

Reading released its eagerly anticipated lineup earlier this year, and it did not disappoint. Taking the main stage on Friday is none other than one of 2025’s biggest breakout stars, Chappell Roan. We can already picture the Reading crowd transforming into her very own pink pony club. She’ll be joined by established legends like Hozier and The Kooks, rising pop stars like Alessia Rose and Lola Young, and indie favourites like Wallows and Soft Play. There truly is someone there for everyone and every genre.

On Saturday, Bring Me The Horizon is set to bring in massive crowds with their headline set. Personally, I can’t wait to see Wunderhorse rock the stage, and I’m equally excited for Conan Gray and Suki Waterhouse, who’ll be making their Reading & Leeds debuts.

Other standout acts include Amyl & The Sniffers, Nieve Ella, The Dare, and Del Water Gap. This lineup is stacked – the only thing you’ll need to worry about is how to catch all these incredible performances without any schedule clashes.
