Twin UK festivals Reading and Leeds will hold their 2026 editions on August 27-30 with mostly identical lineups, albeit with the artists playing on different days. Charli XCX, Dave, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C., Chase & Status Live, and Raye are this year's headliners and both fests also have Kneecap, Geese, Skepta, Sombr, Role Model and more. Leeds has Kasabian, who aren't currently listed on Reading's poster, on its Thursday night.

Reading and Leeds 2026 Festival will feature headline performances from British artist Raye and certified queer icon Charli XCX. It's a strong follow-up after 2025's headliner, Chappell Roan, stunned festival goers with a tour de force performance. Organisers announced that, for the first time in 25 years, the headliners are exclusively British and Irish acts. Over this year's August bank holiday weekend, Irish rockers Fontaines DC, electronic duo Chase & Status and singer Florence + The Machine will also be playing.

The festival announced Gorillaz for the top slot and Ireland's very own Fontaines D.C will take the Sunday night headline slot. And the iconic lineup continues with Irish star CMAT joining the headliners, along with the following acts: Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, Role Model and Geese. Electric Picnic will take place from August 28 to August next year and tickets sold out within 90 minutes of going on sale.

Among the non-country acts on the bill for the annual show, which takes place on the same grounds as Coachella the weekend after that festival, are the rappers Pitbull, Ludacris and BigXthaPlug and the rock bands Journey, Bush, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind and Hootie & the Blowfish. Noah Cyrus and Teddy Swims will be there, as will the winner of an upcoming CBS singing competition show called "The Road."

Primavera Sound is more than an event; it's a vibrant tapestry woven into the very fabric of Barcelona's identity. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has become synonymous with this charismatic city, creating a dynamic exchange where both the festival and Barcelona thrive together. Much like the iconic monuments of its streets, the festival moulds the city's cultural landscape, while Barcelona, in turn, enriches the experience of the festival-goers.

Music fans got a surprise last night as Coachella, the biggest music festival in the country, shared its lineup months earlier than past precedent, with previous releases taking place in November 2024 and January 2023. This year's lineup features a bill of bands that leans heavily on pop superstars. Top billing goes to Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G, a trio of pop acts that run the gamut from latest and greatest (Carpenter), to established industry titan (Bieber) to international superstar (Colombia's Karol G).

Rolling Loud's mission has always been to cultivate hip-hop on a truly global scale, and bringing the festival to India has been a goal of ours for years,

They include techno innovator Dorian Craft, Spanish house star Enzo Leep, Carpets and Snares label and record store boss Jorge Caiado, inventive tech house titan Luca Saporito (Audiofly), Items & Things's dark minimal and disco queen Magda, Scorpios Mykonos and Bodrum resident Rita Soko and many more, with over 70 artists confirmed to perform at the festival. These latest names are in addition to the likes of the already revealed Apollonia, Bonobo, Cabanne, DJ Tennis, Folamour, Janeret, Patrick Mason, Saiorse and many more.

Tyler, the Creator has unveiled the lineup for Camp Flog Gnaw 2025, via a word search on the festival's website. In addition to Tyler himself, the lineup features A$AP Rocky, Childish Gambino, Clipse, Doechii, Earl Sweatshirt, and Thundercat, as well as 2 Chainz, Clairo, Don Toliver, Foushee, Larry June, Left Brain, Malcolm Todd, Men I Trust, Paris Texas, Teezo Touchdown, and The Alchemist.

The Home Again Club Festival 2025 will take place from May 28 to June 2 in Berlin, showcasing an exciting mix of established and emerging talent on four stages.
