Could the Electric Picnic headliners be hiding in plain sight on the Reading & Leeds lineup?

For the Irish festival fanatics out there, the early drop of a Reading & Leeds lineup is always one to keep an eye on for acts that might end up at Stradbally the same summer.

As Reading and Leeds Festivals take place Thursday 21 and Sunday 24 August next year, at Richfield Avenue in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds, a short week away from next year’s Electric Picnic on 29th to 31st August 2025.

Electric Picnic might be sold out but it’s fun to guess who might top the bill at the festival every year.

So, is Chappell Roan going to headline next year? Will Hozier make 2025 his victory lap after arguably his biggest year to date? Travis Scott is a European exclusive so he’s out.

You can bet there will be some crossover for EP next year…
