Want to know who is playing and when at Reading and Leeds Festival 2023? Don't worry virginradio.co.uk has got stage times right here.

The twin festivals are usually seen as the sign off to Britain's festival season proper, and this year looks like it's going to be a magnificent swan song.

Now with two main stages at each festival, the two sites of Richfield Avenue, Reading and Braham Park, Leeds will host not three but six of the biggest headliners in the world, catering to an even wider variety of tastes.

This roster includes: Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, The 1975, The Killers, Foals and Imagine Dragons. Quite a monumental collection.

Here's a few highlights of the line up and stage times for this weekend:
