READING Festival has announced its second round of artists who will be performing at this year’s event in August.
The announcement brings a slew of more than 70 acts who will be joining headliners The Killers, Billie Eilish, and Sam Fender.
Reading’s own The Amazons are among the names added to the bill, as well as Leeds’ Yard Act, and festival stalwarts Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls.
Rina Sawayama will be performing at the festival for the first time, along with Caity Baser and Mimi Webb.
Leicester’s indie darlings Easy Life will also be returning in the summer for the latest of their stellar festival performances which have charted their rise to stardom.
They’ll be joined by previous collaborator Arlo Parks, who brings breezy, low-key, poetic sensibilities, hot on the heels of her latest single, Weightless.
Among other additions are Palaye Royale, Tom Odell, Sea Girls, Vistas, Sleep Token, and Mother Mother.
Dance and electronica have also seen a huge range of additions, including Sub Focus, who will be going back-to-back with Dimension.
Hedex, Gryffin, Girls Don’t Sync, Soulecta, Jaguar, Nieve Ella, and Hariet Jaxxon are also confirmed to be performing.
TV Girl and Wallice will be rounding out the indie offerings, as well as Nashville’s COIN, punk pioneers The Murder Capital, English teacher, Jessie Jo Stark, The Last Dinner Party, Dylan John Thomas, Yonaka, and EKKSTACY.
For those seeking hip-hop, Reading and Leeds will see sets from D Double E, Fin Foxell, Nippa, Kenny Allstar, KiLLOWEN, BZ, ShaShimone, and Proph.
Final additions include midwxst, DJ Target, JBee, Queen Millz, and Lancey Foux.
