Leeds and Reading Festival 2021 confirmed with Stormzy among headliners

Leeds and Reading Festival has been confirmed for an epic return in 2021.

The music event was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But bosses behind-the-scenes have done everything within their power to make sure the annual event goes ahead - topping off next year's line-up with six headliners, and splitting the festivals across two stages rather than the usual one.

It seems Leeds Festival, as well as its sister Reading, is set to be bigger and better than ever before.

Festival Republic director Melvin Benn gave NME insight into what festival-goers can expect to see next year. 

He said: "What was the second stage is going to be elevated to an equal stage with the same presentation. What that really allows us to do is book six acts that are headliners."

Melvin added: "After an absence of a year we are delighted to announce the 2021 return to Reading’s Richfield Avenue and Leeds’ Bramham Park in 2021 with our most epic plan yet.

“Two main stages, six headliners, the best line up of acts 2021 will see and 200,000 fans are going to celebrate the best music in the best music festivals in Britain.”

With artists such as Stormzy, Liam Gallagher, Post Malone and Disclosure, Bramham Park is set for an epic weekend.
