Where to see the biggest Reading and Leeds acts on tour
Post festival blues? Didn’t make it to every set? Don’t worry – there are plenty more opportunities to see your favourite artists coming up
Reading and Leeds Festival always has a jam-packed line-up, and this year was no different, with so many big names squeezed into three days of music that it was nigh on impossible to catch every set, no matter how much running back and forth over the field you were prepared to do. If you missed a couple of big names – or you missed out on the festival altogether – don’t worry. Many of those huge acts are back on tour sooner rather than later, including huge stadium dates for Oasis and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Here’s our roundup of all the artists you’ve got a second shot at seeing. You can read our full coverage of the weekend here.
Oasis
If you missed out on Liam Gallagher’s magical headline set, you might have already had an inkling that you’d get another chance to see him. The Gallagher brothers have been teasing a reunion for a while now, and it’s finally confirmed, with tickets for their 2025 summer stadium tour on sale this Saturday. Mark your calendars, and check out our full review of Liam Gallagher’s set here.
Catfish and the Bottlemen
Catfish have two huge stadium dates lined up for summer 2025. They’ll be playing Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on 1 Aug, before heading over to London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for 3 Aug. Tickets are on sale now, so make sure to grab them before they go. If you want a taste of what you’re in for, you can read our full review of Catfish and the Bottlemen’s set here.
blink-182
blink-182 have more or less wrapped up the UK leg of their tour, but if you’re quick, you might be able to grab some of the final remaining tickets for their two final dates. They’ll be playing Glasgow’s OVO Hydro this week on 29 and 30 Aug. Check out our review of their Reading Festival set here.
Sonny Fodera
If you didn’t catch Fodera’s adrenaline-pumping set at the Chevron stage this weekend – or you’re already in need of more – then you’ve got another shot next month. He’ll be performing two huge sets at Depot Mayfield in Manchester on 20 and 21 Sept.
Fontaines D.C.
The festival was buzzing about the Irish rockers this year, and so remaining tickets for their November/December tour are in short supply. Nonetheless, you might be able to catch them as they head around the UK this winter. If not, they’ll be playing a huge Finsbury Park date on 5 July= 2025, with tickets still remaining. You can read our review of their Reading set here.
Beabadoobee
The bedroom pop pioneer heads on a UK tour this winter, so you’ve got a second chance to hear her dreamy, thoughtful pop on the live stage. There are limited tickets remaining for her November dates though, so secure yours whilst you still can.
Nia Archives
The producer and DJ has found herself more and more in demand over the last couple of years. The end of October and start of November sees her playing a series of packed out UK dates, with limited tickets still remaining for a lucky few.
Rachel Chinouriri
One of the newest and brightest shining stars in pop opens for Sabrina Carpenter on her Short ‘n’ Sweet tour this March 2025, so if you were lucky enough to secure tickets then you’ll catch her there. If not, there’s a handful of tickets remaining for her headline tour across the UK this November.
