Gallagher, who last topped the bill at R+L back in 2021, said of his upcoming appearance: “I’m gonna be playing Reading & Leeds – The most RnR festivals we have left in the UK. Be there or be square LG x”
Fans are also hoping that 2024 will see Gallagher release his long-rumoured album with Stone Roses legend John Squire, which he recently teased as “the best record since [The Beatles’] ‘Revolver’”.
R+L takes place at Little John’s Farm in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds for Bank Holiday Weekend over August 21-25. Tickets to Reading & Leeds 2024 go on sale at 8.30am on Thursday November 30 and will be available here.
