Reading and Leeds festivals have announced their first headline acts, with a host of first-time headliners including Chappell Roan set to play next summer.
With a stellar year following the release of her debut album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, it will be Roan’s first festival headline set.
Rapper Travis Scott, known for his high on-stage energy and larger-than-life production, is also debuting in his Reading and Leeds headline slot.
Scott’s appearance is being billed as a “European exclusive”.
With seven albums to their name, it’s Bring Me The Horizon’s first headline slot too, although they have previously played at the festival.
Band frontman Oli Sykes said: “We are going to bring hands down the greatest show of our careers.
“It’s going to be our only UK performance next year and the final European show of the NEX GEN campaign before the band take time away, so if you want to see BMTH next year, this truly is your only chance. Can’t wait.”

Following his UK number-one album, Unreal Unearth, and first number-one song, Too Sweet, Hozier will also top the bill.
First appearing at Reading and Leeds in 2014, his 2025 headline slot is a UK festival exclusive performance.
Other acts on the line-up include two-time Brit award winner Becky Hill, rapper AJ Tracey, Rudimental, pop group The Kooks and rock act Bloc Party.
