It may only be September but thoughts are already turning to next summer’s music festivals, with Primavera and Bearded Theory having already announced their full lineups.
With Glastonbury on a fallow year in 2026 all eyes will be on the other big British music festivals, with Download expected to make a first announcement in the next couple of weeks.
Meanwhile in Scotland the organisers of TRNSMT haven’t even announced dates for the Glasgow festival - keeping fans waiting.
Arguably the biggest event of the year in the UK will be The Reading and Leeds Festivals, which will take place from August 27-30.
Dating back to 1961, when it was known as the National Jazz Festival, the event was first only held in Reading but since 1999 encompasses twin festivals taking place over the same weekend with a near-identical lineup.
The Reading part is held at Little John's Farm on Richfield Avenue in central Reading, while the Leeds portion is held in Bramham Park, near Wetherby.
Many of the biggest names in music have headlined over the years, including Nirvana, Oasis, Blur, Fall Out Boy, Metallica, The Cure, Guns N’ Roses, Beastie Boys and Pink Floyd.
Here are the 13 acts who are rumoured to be entering the festival’s roll of honour next year.
5. Doja Cat
Reading and Leeds has also become a festival that welcomes hip hop and American rapper Doja Cat could be a big enough name to headline - occupying the crowd-pleasing pop end of the genre. She's already topping the bill at Primavera and has just released her fifth studio album 'Vie'. | Getty Images for iHeartRadio
6. Tyler, the Creator
Speaking of rap, Tyler the Creator's name seems to be contantly dropped in reference to next year's Reading and Leeds festival. His new dance-infused album 'Don't Tap The Glass' sounds like it was made to play live and he's well-known for his eye-popping stage production. He could convert even the most rap-averse rock fan. | AFP via Getty Images
7. Florence and the Machine
Florence and the Machine have a new album out soon, 'Everybody Scream', and a European tour announced. They have a run of UK area gigs in February but will surely be ready for some outdoor concerts come August. | Getty Images
8. My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance last headlined Reading and Leeds back in 2011 and would be a hugely popular name to welcome back - particularly since they are playing seminal album 'The Black Parade' in full. They have already announced a tour of the UK, but could perhaps be tempted to add a couple more festival dates. | Getty Images
