"Reading and Leeds 2026 Festival will feature headline performances from British artist Raye and certified queer icon Charli XCX. It's a strong follow-up after 2025's headliner, Chappell Roan, stunned festival goers with a tour de force performance. Organisers announced that, for the first time in 25 years, the headliners are exclusively British and Irish acts. Over this year's August bank holiday weekend, Irish rockers Fontaines DC, electronic duo Chase & Status and singer Florence + The Machine will also be playing."
"Raye has had a huge year with the release of "Where Is My Husband!", the lead single from Raye's upcoming second studio album. The track peaked at number two on both the United Kingdom and Ireland charts. There's bound to be hype for Raye, and tickets are sure to sell like hotcakes for the Reading and Leeds 2026 Festival. This will also be aided by the fact that the festival marks Brit Award winner Charli XCX's only UK festival shows currently scheduled for next year."

Charli XCX is scheduled for her only UK festival shows in 2026, is celebrated within the LGBTQ+ community for collaborations with queer and trans artists, and will contribute original songs to the Wuthering Heights soundtrack.
