This is only the beginning as the poster indicates that there are “many more [artists] to be announced”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some artists have already shown their excitement about the event. “READING & LEADS WE’RE COMING FOR YOU” posted Imagine Dragons on Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I first went to Leeds festival 10 years ago as a teenager”, commented Sam Fender,<\/a> “One night I was out cold in my tent from necking a bottle of vodka at Eagles of Death Metal my tent got set alight – some fine young hero from Sheffield pissed out the fire to save me. Thankfully because of that lad whose name I can\u2019t remember, I didn\u2019t perish in the flames, little did he know he\u2019d just saved Reading and Leeds\u2019s 2023 headliner. See you down the front x”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, FOALS said on Twitter<\/a> “We\u2019re so hyped to bring the heat back to Reading & Leeds. See you in the pit next Summer”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW IT FEELS LOOKING AT THIS @officialrandl SOSO BUZZING X” Lewis Capaldi commented on an Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking some young Londoners their feelings about 2023’s lineup, this is what they told to Voice of London: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tbh, they\u2019ve had better line ups. the only ones i\u2019m excited for is Billie Eilish and Steve Lacy” says Ana (21), “I think that Central Cee is cool but I\u2019m not really bothered about the performers this year”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think this is an incredible lineup, I mean you\u2019ve got Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender, just loads of my favourite artists really, I don\u2019t even care that Lewis Capaldi isn\u2019t a rock artist, he\u2019s an icon and having him on any lineup instantly makes it better” says Laura (20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ticket’s prices will be available once they go on sale. These are the locations: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
