Reading & Leeds have released the full stage times for their 2026 editions, running from Thursday 27 to Sunday 30 August across the Bank Holiday weekend. This year marks the festivals' biggest arena overhaul yet, with the former Main Stage rebranded as The Grid and joined by two new stages, The Gallery and The Warehouse, as organisers look to refresh the event's layout and offering.

Headliners across the weekend include Florence + The Machine, Charli XCX, Fontaines D.C., Dave, RAYE and Chase & Status, with further sets from Skepta, Sombr, JADE, Kneecap, Holly Humberstone, Declan McKenna and Duke Dumont among many others. For the first time, Leeds has been given permission to host Thursday-night music, with Kasabian topping the bill alongside The Lathums and Arkayla. Full schedules are now live on the official Reading and Leeds websites and the festival app, though organisers note all times remain subject to change.
