Reading and Leeds, when combined, is the second biggest festival in the UK, and by far the oldest, predating even Glastonbury by just shy of a decade. It’s iconic, a right of passage for any British music lover, and it’s returning once again to us this weekend.
Lana Del Rey, Fred Again, and Liam Gallagher are among those who will make their way across the country to play at the twin main stages, uniting the north/south divide and bringing joy to all as they do.
Either you or your token Type A friend will have started to form a plan of action, meticulously figuring out how you can get to see everyone you need to see without causing a mutiny within your friend group. Whoever’s in charge of the time-tabling will need to know exactly who is playing, where, and when, and we’ve got them covered.
Here are the exact lineups for both Reading and Leeds 2024.

Reading Festival 2024 line-up and stage times
Reading takes place right in the centre of the city, so it has a strict curfew as to when the music has to stop. This means that the large stages all wrap up before 11.30pm, then you can either head to one of the after hours silent discos or go and get a good night’s sleep. Both are excellent options if you ask us.
Here’s the entire lineup for Reading festival including timings.

Leeds Festival 2024 line-up and stage times
Leeds’ festival site is a little bit bigger than its southern counterpart, so it has a couple of extra stages. These are LS23, the Aux stage, and Piccadilly Party, all of which do late night events and DJ sets into the wee small hours.
Leeds is in a field which is basically in the middle of nowhere, which is why it doesn’t have a curfew and therefore is able to have music on until 6am every day. This is not ideal if you’re trying to sleep, but ideal if you’re there for the party.
Here’s the lineup from Leeds, which is almost exactly the same as Reading’s with slight variations in the timings.
