Reading + Leeds Festival: Top Sets to Check Out

With Reading and Leeds Festival fast approaching – the line up is looking packed! There are some huge names throughout the weekend, it leaves the challenge of deciding who to see. Do you go for big headliners such as Catfish or Blink 182, or do you go for the smaller stages to see the next big thing?

We give you our top five sets to check out at the festival:

RAYE
We feel this is going to be a big moment for RAYE when she plays Reading and Leeds Festival. After what can only be described as a mental 18 months for the artist, this set is going to be one to remember for many years and maybe laying down the path to RAYE as a future headliner.

VENUS GRRRLS
After a monster of a festival run this summer – VENUS GRRRLS have been praised for the like of Iggy Pop and huge support from BBC 6 Music. The band will be tearing apart the BBC Introducing stage, for fans of Le Tigre, Crawlers and Witch Fever.

KID KAPACHI
The boys are back in town! Kid Kapachi are armed with their new album ‘There Goes The Neighbourhood’ they will certainly be bringing their high energy live performances to the max!

BEABADOOBEE
Having just released her album that saw he working with the famous producer Rick Rubin – we are eager to see what the live set will hold in store for us.

FRED AGAIN
The diamond of the weekend! The icing on the cake for this festival is going to be Fred Again. There are some big headliner names this year on the line up and Fred Again might come across as a bit of a wild card. But we feel he is going to hold his ground and make this headline set his own and one everyone will be talking about for years to come.

Reading and Leeds Festival takes place on the 21st to the 25th August 2024.
