Reading & Leeds 2024 is just around the corner – but will it be rain or shine on-site? Check out the latest weather forecasts for both locations below.
This year’s edition of the dual festival is set to take place across Bank Holiday Weekend, with gates opening to general admission punters on Thursday (August 22).
Blink-182, Fred Again.. and Liam Gallagher are all scheduled to headline the main stage. Other big acts on the line-up include Lana Del Rey, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Gerry Cinnamon, Raye, Fontaines D.C. and 21 Savage.
R&L ’24 will also see the introduction of a “groundbreaking” new stage called The Chevron and The Aux venue for “pioneering digital creators” – both of which announced more acts recently.

In other news, R&L organisers have shared an essential guide to the events – including information on where to stay, what not to bring, what’s new and more.
Meanwhile, The Last Dinner Party recently spoke to NME about what fans can expect from their set on the main stage this weekend. The Mercury-nominated band also recalled their memories of attending the festival.
“I’m from Yorkshire near Leeds, so it’s always special for me to play in Yorkshire, that’s always a nice feeling,” said guitarist Lizzie Mayland.
“It’s definitely a younger crowd. Last time we were there, there were a lot of lads in bucket hats, which we love. Hopefully they’ll come and bring the moshpit energy, because we’ve not had too much of that in the States. People don’t mosh here as much. People dance, but they don’t mosh. So I’m excited for a bit of chaos, hopefully.”
