READING and Leeds Festivals has announced 30 more acts for its huge line-up. Some high-energy artists will join this year's headliners Travis Scott, Bring Me The Horizon, Hozier and Chappell Roan over bank holiday weekend in August. Leading the charge are American nu-metallers Limp Bizkit who will play chief support to BMTH on the Saturday night.

While London rap duo D-Block Europe are supporting Scott, whose booking is a UK festival exclusive. Other signings include Bakar, Good Neighbours, Nemzzz, Badger, Matilda Mann, Example, The Royston Club, Jazzy and Nell Mescal. Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic said: “Reading & Leeds really has something for everyone this year.

"The response to the line up so far has been incredible, and today’s additions bring so much to the table. "We’ve seen first-hand what Limp Bizkit and D-Block Europe can do in front of these crowds - they will not disappoint - and beyond that you’ll find countless artists making a name for themselves this summer.

"2025 already feels like the start of a bold new era for Reading & Leeds, and a positive shift in UK festival culture. "This line up and everything we’re introducing to the festival experience will define the years to come.”. One of the UK's most popular music events, the festival has a rich history of top talent delivering memorable performances.

In recent years Stormzy, Billie Eilish, and Arctic Monkeys have all headlined with summer-defining sets. Benn will be hoping Bizkit's set is a little less raucous than their infamous Woodstock 99 appearance. The band, fronted by cap-wearing Fred Durst, famously whipped the dehydrated and irritable crowd into a frenzy with anthems like Break Stuff.
