  • Published schedules list Travis Scott closing Leeds on Friday (9:20–10:50pm) and Reading on Sunday (9:50–11:20pm), Hozier topping Reading on Friday (9:40–11:20pm) and Leeds on Saturday, with Bring Me The Horizon and Chappell Roan headlining on the opposite days.

  • Organisers reiterate entry rules: only a sealed, unopened 500ml water or soft drink may be taken into the arena, alcohol and glass are banned, and arena bag limits apply (one A4-size bag per person).
  • Forecasts point to largely dry, mild conditions through the weekend; fans are trading unconfirmed talk of possible secret sets, and one late change has been reported with House of Protection withdrawing.
