Italian rock sensations Maneskin make their Reading & Leeds debut, while rising pop-punk star Jxdn is confirmed to make his first ever UK festival appearance, along with Chloe Moriondo and Kid Brunswick.

Drum and bass star Wilkinson is set to headline the Dance Stage, with Hybrid Minds confirmed too. 

Tai Verdes, PinkPantheress, The Lathums and Wallows complete the first wave of acts to be announced. 

Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic, said: “With so many amazing acts set to play, Reading and Leeds is set to return as the ultimate festival weekend of the summer: defining the sounds of modern groundbreaking music. I cannot wait!”

Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes said: "To be headlining Reading & Leeds was never even a dream of mine as it’s something I could never imagine happening... I just never saw our band as a festival headline act. But now it’s happening, I promise you we are going to put on the best show of our lives for you lot.”
