Comprising twin festivals taking place 190 miles apart, one at Richfield Avenue in Reading, the other at Bramham Park near Leeds, R&L isn't for the faint-hearted. Travis Scott, Bring Me the Horizon, Hozier and Chappell Roan are headlining both events, so read on as we explain how to watch Reading & Leeds 2025 streams online from anywhere and for FREE on BBC iPlayer .

As the unofficial annual post-exam results blowout for teenagers up and down the UK, there tends to be an end-of-days feel to Reading & Leeds, while the twin format and north-south divide are a recipe for one-upmanship.

The audience energy is just as big a part of the music, but we have seen a huge shift from the rock heavy bands of the early 2000s. That was of course since the arrival of 50 Cent as a headliner back in 2004, who among others like Panic! at the Disco, Good Charlotte, Twenty One Pilots, My Chemical Romance and Meat Loaf have been given particularly short shrift in the past.

Aside from the headliners, further highlights include Lambrini Girls, Wunderhorse, Bloc Party, Limp Bizkit and The Kooks. The Reading Friday lineup and the Leeds Saturday lineup are the same, as are the Reading Saturday
lineup and the Leeds Sunday lineup, and the Reading Sunday lineup and the Leeds Friday lineup.
