Leeds and Reading Festival have revealed their second wave of artists set to perform at Bramham Park and Richfield Avenue over August Bank Holiday weekend.
Limp Bizkit make their explosive return to Reading & Leeds this summer, bringing their signature chaos and anthems to the stage. Led by the ever-unpredictable Fred Durst, the multi-platinum rap-rock icons have defined a generation—and now, they’re bigger than ever. With sold-out UK shows at Wembley Arena and Gunnersbury Park, a fresh wave of fans is jumping on board, ready to witness the band’s high-octane performance.

Hide AdUK rap titans D-Block Europe are also set to deliver one of the most hyped sets of the weekend, leading into Travis Scott’s only European show of the year. As the first UK rap act to sell out four consecutive nights at The O2 and with multiple gold and platinum releases, the South London duo have cemented their status as global heavyweights.
Bringing a fresh wave of indie innovation, Bakar makes his highly anticipated return to Reading & Leeds this August. Known for redefining British guitar-driven pop, he’s joined by a stacked lineup of emerging talent: viral duo Good Neighbours, Manchester’s Boygenius-produced jasmine.4.t, Wrexham four-piece The Royston Club, Liverpool’s cinematic Red Rum Club, and Leicester’s ambitious pop-punk outfit Mouth Culture.
2025’s most compelling new songwriters, Matilda Mann and Nell Mescal, will bring immersive and intimate moments to the festival, while UK rap’s next wave is also set to take over. Manchester’s unmistakable Nemzzz, already co-signed by Lil Yachty and Headie One, makes his mark, while South London’s Pozer steps up following his breakout single Kitchen Stove and a MOBO Award win for Best Drill Act.
