About Leeds 2026
Leeds Festival is the northern half of the UK's August bank-holiday rite of passage. Bramham Park, a stately-home estate turned campsite, hosts the same six-headliner slate as Reading: Charli xcx, RAYE, Dave, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C. and Chase & Status, all British or Irish for the first time in 25 years. Leeds keeps what Reading doesn't get: a Thursday night of its own, a sixth stage in LS23, and the Piccadilly Party running the campsite until 5 AM. That's 137 acts in all, every one with a set time.
The two sites are not interchangeable. The 96 acts that play both run on different days at each (as a rule, what's Friday at Reading is Saturday here, Saturday there is Sunday here, and Sunday there is Friday here, though a handful of DJ sets break the pattern), and 41 acts on this page play Leeds only, including Kasabian, Blossoms, The Lathums, The K's and Jamie Webster. If your ticket says Reading, use our Reading page; the days here will not match your weekend.
Expect pop, alternative, indie rock and dance across 137 acts.

Leeds 2026 lineup FAQ
When is Leeds Festival 2026?
August 27–30, 2026, over the UK bank-holiday weekend. Leeds opens on the Thursday night and runs through Sunday.
Where does it take place?
Bramham Park, about ten miles east of Leeds in West Yorkshire.
Who is headlining Leeds 2026?
Kasabian open on Thursday, the first Thursday-night headliners in the festival's history. Then Chase & Status and Florence + The Machine on Friday, Charli xcx and Fontaines D.C. on Saturday, and Dave and RAYE on Sunday.
How many acts are playing?
137, every one with a set time, across six arena stages, plus the Piccadilly Party keeping the campsite going from 8 PM to 5 AM.
Is the Reading lineup the same?
Not quite. 96 acts play both sites but on different days: for nearly all of them, Friday at Leeds is Sunday at Reading, Saturday here is Friday there, and Sunday here is Saturday there, though a few DJ sets sit outside that pattern, so trust the day on the act itself. On top of that, 41 acts play Leeds only and 47 play Reading only, and Reading has no Thursday. Check the page for the site on your ticket.
How do I figure out which of the acts I'd actually like?
Tell the finder at the top of this page a few bands you love, and it'll match you with your must-see sets, with reasons why.
When will the Leeds 2027 lineup be announced?
Not yet. Last year the festival announced its lineup on December 1, 2025. The 2027 lineup goes up on this page as soon as it is out.
