The 1975 announced as Lewis Capaldi's replacement headline act at Reading and Leeds Festival 2023

Lewis Capaldi 1975 Reading and Leeds Festival Leeds Reading

Reading and Leeds Festival has confirmed The 1975 will headline this summer - replacing scheduled headliner Lewis Capaldi after he cancelled all his upcoming shows last month. The band will take to the stage in August to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their self-titled debut album ‘The 1975’.

Frontman Matt Healy, along with his fellow band members Ross MacDonald on bass, Adam Hann on guitar and George Daniel on drums, will be performing the album in full. Fans will be able to enjoy the rare and special performance on Saturday, August 26 at Reading, and Sunday, August 27 at Leeds.

Debuting at number one in the UK Albums Chart in 2013, ‘The 1975’ boasts many fan favourites - including singles Chocolate, Sex, and Robbers. Amongst these tracks are other fan favourites that have rarely been performed live in recent years, such as She Way Out, Settle Down and The City - giving Reading and Leeds Festival fans a unique setlist.
