Lil Uzi Vert Pulls Out Of Reading And Leeds Line Up
Tuesday, 20 August 2019
Written by Laura Johnson
Lil Uzi Vert has pulled out of Reading and Leeds.
Organisers confirmed the news via social media, while also announcing some other timetable changes: "Due to unforeseen circumstances Lil Uzi Vert is no longer able to perform at Reading 2019. Because of the short notice, Enter Shikari will now take this slot on the Main Stage. Yungblud will play later and SWMRS will move from the Festival Republic Stage to the Main Stage."
First staged in 1961, Reading is the original of the two festivals and is the world's oldest popular music festival still in existence. The line ups always guarantee a diverse range of acts, including the finest in rock, punk, indie, metal, and more recently electronic artists and rap, from around the world.
The festival is spread across numerous stages—including the main stage, BBC Radio 1 stage, the Lock Up, the Festival Republic Stage and the Alternative Stage—while 2018's headliners were Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Panic! At The Disco and Kings of Leon.
What? A twin site, three-day festival that hosts an eclectic line up, ranging from the best in rock to the top acts in rap, and everything in between.
Where? Richfield Avenue, Reading and Bramham Park, Leeds.
When? August 23-25.

Friday at Reading will feature DJ battles from BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders and indie-rockers Circa Waves, who will join the party after their set on the BBC Radio 1 Stage earlier that day. Other DJs will also be spinning, pitted against each other in who can get the biggest sing-alongs.
