Fans of The Foo Fighters have been sent into a frenzy after noticing gaps in the Reading and Leeds Festival lineup poster.
They believe there’s a chance that the popular band could be planning a surprise appearance after noticing the festival lineup looked more sparse than in previous years.

Many keen Instagrammers believe this theory has been backed up by the band themselves, who made a throwback post this week to 2019 when they last performed at the much-loved event.
“Reading Festival 2019,” The Foo Fighters’ caption simply read on a video of the band performing their set six years ago.
“For those of you with access to the @bbciplayer, the full 2019 Reading set is up now at the link in bio.”
Speculation began to snowball on the Leeds Festival Community Reddit page, with fans sharing their thoughts on the seemingly out-of-the-blue nostalgia.
“OK I know this is a long shot,’ one commenter began.
“But foos just posted a R&L video throwback from 2019 on Instagram. Anyone else think this may be a hint of a secret/surprise set this year?
“If so, do you think it will be at Reading? Or Leeds? Or both?”
Though others in the group seemed less certain about the likelihood of The Foo Fighters making an appearance.
“Very much confident about them not being there this year. It’s been years since an absolutely huge headline band did a secret set,” said one.
“Less than zero chance,” agreed another.
Though even if The Foo Fighters are a no-show, fans are also beginning to wonder whether two other massive bands are lined up for secret sets at the festival.
Reading and Leeds Festival 2025, sponsored by Rockstar Energy, is set to span over this Friday to Sunday.
It’s going to feature all kinds of star-studded names including Chappell Roan, Hozier, Travis Scott, and Bring Me The Horizon.
The Foo Fighters have previously played at The Reading and Leeds Festival many times, including in 1995, 1998 and 2000.
They headlined for the first time back in 2002, and then again in 2005, 2012, and 2019.
