Eminem is the evens favourite to headline Reading and Leeds next year with big acts featuring in the odds list
With the 2024 Reading and Leeds Festival taking place this weekend we’re already looking at next year’s event with odds on who will be a headliner at the festival in 2025.
Eminem is the evens favourite to headline the festival for the fourth time after topping the bill previously in 2001, 2013 and most recently in 2017.
The American rapper released his most recent album ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ in July and it may well be that he tours it in the next 12 months with a Reading and Leeds performance possible.
Eminem has a good relationship with the festival after those three previous headline slots and the latest odds now suggest a 50% chance of him headlining once again in 2025.
| Reading and Leeds Headliner 2025 | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Eminem | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| Kasabian | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Olivia Rodrigo | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Billie Eilish | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Sabrina Carpenter | 7/1 | 12.5% |

What the expert says...
Kasabian 2/1 second favourites to top the bill at the famous festival in 2025
That 2017 Reading and Leeds festival that Eminem last headlined also saw Kasabian as one of the three main headliners on the billing and it may be that we see them both on the same lineup once again.
Kasabian have headlined Reading and Leeds before back in 2012 and 2017 and they now could top the bill at the festival for the first time since vocalist Tom Meighan left the band.
The latest odds put them as the 2/1 second favourites in the market with other big names also featuring with three headliners set to be selected with three nights of headliners needing to be filled.

2024’s Reading and Leeds Festival is set to take place this weekend with gates opening today at the two locations for early bird activities.
The music itself doesn't start until Friday with Blink 182 headlining at Reading on the opening night of the weekend and Scottish singer Gerry Cinnamon on the bill just behind them.
Saturday night will be a party night at Reading with Fred Again… topping the bill on the main stage in what is his only headline festival slot in the UK this summer.
Liam Gallagher and Catfish and the Bottlemen wrap up Reading on Sunday evening with an indie extravaganza expected to take place at the festival on the final day.
