Add Arlo Parks, Mimi Webb and Yard Act to the list of artists who will be performing at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival 2023, as they join names that were announced in 2022 - Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, Lewis Capaldi and The Killers.

The second announcement for Reading and Leeds Festival 2023 has been revealed with no less than 80 new names added to the festival, set to return to Richfield Avenue down south and Bramham Park for the Leeds event. Five new additions to the line up were announced during the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, with the Reading and Leeds Festival organisers then releasing the remaining list of names through their official website.

Mimi Webb, Sub Focus & Dimension, Arlo Parks, Rina Sawayama and Easy Life were the five names announced during the breakfast show, while Leeds lads Yard Act will be providing a healthy dose of Yorkshire irony as their performance at Leeds Festival will act as a homecoming of sorts for the beloved post-punk act.

Reading and Leeds 2023 will also welcome some of the hottest breakthrough hip-hop and rap artists including D Double E, West London’s lofi hip-hop riser Finn Foxell, UK garage, soul and hip-hop fuser KiLLOWEN, Tottenham’s Nippa, and Kenny Allstar.

Also added is upcoming rap prospect Sainte, freestyle queen and emotive songwriter ShaSimone, rising Afrobeat rapper BZ, American digicore singer and rapper midwxst, and gritty South London hip-hop hopeful Proph. Further names include K-Trap, J Fado, breakthrough Leeds drill artist Temz and Malaki
