“The response to the line up so far has been incredible, and today’s additions bring so much to the table.
“We’ve seen first-hand what Limp Bizkit and D-Block Europe can do in front of these crowds – they will not disappoint – and beyond that you’ll find countless artists making a name for themselves this summer.
“2025 already feels like the start of a bold new era for Reading & Leeds, and a positive shift in UK festival culture.
“This line up and everything we’re introducing to the festival experience will define the years to come.”
One of the UK’s most popular music events, the festival has a rich history of top talent delivering memorable performances.
In recent years Stormzy, Billie Eilish, and Arctic Monkeys have all headlined with summer-defining sets.

Benn will be hoping Bizkit’s set is a little less raucous than their infamous Woodstock 99 appearance.
The band, fronted by cap-wearing Fred Durst, famously whipped the dehydrated and irritable crowd into a frenzy with anthems like Break Stuff.
Footage from the event showed gig-goers crowd surfing on wooden panels before the festival descended into a riot later that night.
