We may only be weeks away from Christmas but festival announcements for next summer just keep on coming.
Among those is the legendary Leeds Festival as the 2024 headliners were recently revealed as Liam Gallagher, Blink 182, Gerry Cinnamon, Lana Del Rey, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Fred Again.
They are just some of the biggest names in the industry to be joining the line-up as the first 10 acts were confirmed last week.
This included the likes of Raye, American DJ Skrillex, band Spiritbox and rapper Digga D.
Melvin Benn, managing director of promoter Festival Republic, said: “We are thrilled to announce the first wave of artists for Reading and Leeds 2024.
“I am very proud that the biggest artists in the world choose to play Reading and Leeds and to have three incredible UK festival exclusives – the electrifying Fred again, a true generational talent Lana Del Ray and the legendary Blink-182.
“The iconic Liam Gallagher will return to play an all-time classic album Definitely Maybe which will be a special moment indeed.
“We pride ourselves on nurturing artists from the early stages in their career, so to see acts like Catfish And The Bottlemen rising through the festival to headline for the second time is very rewarding.
“2023 was a hugely successful year for attendance and sensational audience feedback, and we are eager to build upon this success even further at the UK’s biggest and best music festival.”
