This year's 2020 festival was meant to take place on 28th - 30th August but was cancelled in May due to coronavirus.

Both grime star Stormzy and former Oasis frontman Gallagher were due to headline the event, along with rap-metal group Rage Against The Machine.

Organisers say a new format will see two main stages in 2021 for what they've called their 'most epic plan yet'

Gallagher said: “Yes Brothers and Sisters, I come bearing good news…Yours Truly is headlining Reading & Leeds 2021. C’MON YOU KNOW. LG”
