Reading and Leeds Festival fans ‘considering selling’ tickets after ‘worst ever’ line-up announcement

More than 70 new acts have been confirmed for Reading and Leeds Festival 2023, but some disgruntled fans have said they’re “considering selling” their tickets. The three-day sister events will return to Reading’s Richfield Avenue and Bramham Park in Leeds on August 25-27 and see Billie Eilish become the youngest solo artist to top the bill.

The 21-year-old will perform alongside the previously announced The Killers, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender, Foals and Imagine Dragons. On Tuesday (February 28), another round of acts were confirmed to play including chart-topping pop star Mimi Webb, Brit Rising Star 2022 Holly Humberstone and Leeds-based rock group Yard Act, who have risen through the ranks after their BBC Introducing Stage debut in 2021.

There will also be sets from Brit Awards winners Wet Leg, Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks and British singer-songwriter Tom Odell. North London artist Bakar and drill innovator Clavish will also perform at the festival alongside Reading rock band The Amazons.
