It may only be November but thoughts are already turning to next summer’s music festivals.
The Reading and Leeds Festivals will take place from Thursday, August 21, to Sunday, August 2, with tickets already on sale - desite not a single act having been named.
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 could enter the festival’s roll of honour next year.
9. Charli XCX
BRAT Summer 2 anybody? Charli XCX may be a controversial booking for those who want Reading and Leeds to rock, but there's no doubting that she's never been so popular. Charli's already been unveiled as a headliners for Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival in 2025, so she's clearly going to be topping bills next year. | Getty Images
10. Post Malone
California's Coachella Festival this week announced Post Malone as a Sunday night headliner. If he's looking to do a summer of festival slots then surely a visit to the UK is on the cards. | Getty Images
11. Lana Del Rey
Lana del Rey has only ever played a handful of gigs in the UK, including a date at Glasgow's SECC in 2013. This year saw her set at Reading cut short due to a technical fault, so perhaps it could be made up to her, and her fans, by upgrading her to the headline slot in 2025. | Getty Images for The Met Museum/
12. Imagine Dragons
Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons are embarking on a huge world tour next year, but so far are only playing two UK dates - both in London. Have they already booked a few festivals to cover the rest of Britain? | AFP via Getty Images
