Chappell Roan announced as headliner for Reading and Leeds festival 2025
Chappell Roan has been confirmed as a headliner for the Reading and Leeds festival next year. Taking place during the bank holiday weekend – 21 August- 24 August – the beloved superstar will be joined by other showstopping artists like Hozier, Conan Gray, Bring Me The Horizon, Becky Hill, Pale Waves and Travis Scott.
More music acts will be announced in the coming months. In a statement, Melvin Benn – the managing organizer for Festival Republic – gushed about Chappell’s inclusion, describing her as “a new pop star poised to define a generation.” “Right now, we’re witnessing an exciting wave of inspiring voices breaking through in pop culture, and this lineup captures that energy perfectly,” he added. “This is one of the youngest average ages for headliners in years, and that’s very exciting in itself.” As of this writing, Three pre-sales and Festival pre-sales are currently available, while the general sale will kick off on 9 December.
Throughout 2024, Chappell has catapulted to mainstream superstardom following the release of her stand-alone pop anthem, ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ – which was met with acclaim for its unapologetic queerness and themes of compulsory heterosexuality.
Her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, subsequently began to climb the worldwide charts – hitting number one in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand and number two on the US Billboard Hot 200.
