It marks Chappell’s first UK festival headline slot after a breakout 2024, while Travis Scott and Bring Me The Horizon are both making welcome returns to next year’s event.

Bring Me The Horizon’s frontman Oli Sykes said: “We are beyond excited to be returning to Reading & Leeds for our first fully fledged headline slot. We are going to bring hands down the greatest show of our careers. It’s going to be our only UK performance next year and the final European show of the NEX GEN campaign before the band take time away, so if you want to see BMTH next year, this truly is your only chance. Can’t wait.”

It also mark’s Hozier’s first ever UK festival headline slot, after Unreal Unearth gave him his first-ever UK number-one album, outselling the entire UK Top 5 in its release week, and also topped the charts in Ireland. His first-ever UK number-one single, ‘Too Sweet’, also recently racked up 1.6 billion global streams.

There’s also the small matter of the first ever Icon Slot at R&L 2025, which is taken by Bloc Party to celebrate the defining acts synonymous with the festival and their celebrated run playing it from 2005-2009.

Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic said: “Right now, we’re witnessing an exciting wave of inspiring voices breaking through in pop culture, and this line-up captures that energy perfectly. This is one of the youngest average ages for headliners in years, and that’s very exciting in itself. We are delighted to welcome Chappell Roan’s debut, an inspiring new pop star poised to define a generation, sitting alongside one of our favourite modern songwriters, Hozier. We are also proud to welcome back Bring Me The Horizon, a band who have grown with us over the years to become the UK’s biggest alternative act.

“Add to that the massive European exclusive appearance of Travis Scott and an unrivalled selection of dance music’s biggest names, and you’ve got something truly special. It will be a genuine privilege to witness these moments, from iconic headliners to extraordinary emerging artists alike. Bringing together these worlds and delivering a standout weekend every summer is ultimately what makes Reading & Leeds the UK’s biggest, best and most unmissable music festival.”
