Reading & Leeds Lineup Fails to Feature Any Female Acts Out of 6 Headline Slots

Since 1961, Reading & Leeds festival has been an annual celebration of thriving UK talent. Once a rock festival, R & L has evolved to incorporate a wide variety of genres to satisfy attendees of all ages. This week, the 2021 lineup was announced online. Stormzy, Liam Gallagher, Post Malone, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Disclosure and Queens Of The Stone Age are set to play the festival this year. But where are all the women?

R & L has received significant criticism in this area in recent years, so you would expect this to be taken into account. However, once again, the lineup spectacularly fails in the area of female representation.
