Stormzy, Rage Against The Machine and Liam Gallagher will top the bill. Female names include Mabel, Mahalia and Lady Leshurr but the summer event is male-heavy. Feeling so disheartened about this Reading and Leeds line up. At the blatant lack of want to represent women. For all the 16 year old girls going to their first festival at Reading and Leeds 2020. Just know that you DO belong on those stages.— Annie Mac (@AnnieMac) February 11, 2020 The DJ wrote on Twitter: “Feeling so disheartened about this Reading and Leeds line up.
