Reading and Leeds 2026: Charli XCX and Raye to headline

Charli XCX has had an impressive couple of years which saw the infectious electro-pop tracks from her culture-shaping album Brat soar up the charts and inspire a trend.

While “brat summer” might be over, Reading and Leeds has said she will usher in a new era when she takes to the stage next summer.

She recently released her new track House, the first song from her upcoming album Wuthering Heights, which will soundtrack Emerald Fennel’s highly anticipated adaptation due to be released next year.

Dave has recently cemented his position as one of the biggest names in UK rap after his third record, The Boy Who Played The Harp, shot to the top of the charts earlier this year.

Its success secured him the title of first British rap artist to debut three albums at number one in the UK’s official chart.

Florence + The Machine, led by singer Florence Welch, also released their first album in three years on Halloween.

Florence told Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw on their podcast she chose the date as it is a “darker album” than she has made before which explores “life and death”.
