Have Bring Me The Horizon played Reading & Leeds before?
Bring Me The Horizon have played Reading and Leeds three times previously, with the band making their festival debut 10 years ago when they appeared on the Main Stage in 2015.
They returned in 2018 for a "secret" set on the BBC Radio 1 Stage and came back in 2022 - a performance that saw the group bring Ed Sheeran onstage to perform Bad Habits.
Speaking about their return to the festival in 2025, frontman Oli Sykes said: "We are beyond excited to be returning to Reading & Leeds for our first fully-fledged headline slot.
"We are going to bring, hands down, the greatest show of our careers. It’s going to be our only UK performance and the final European show of the NEX GEN campaign before the band take time away, so if you want to see BMTH, this truly is your only chance. Can’t wait."
Bring Me The Horizon's 2025 plans
Following their Reading and Leeds performances, the band will have a short break before returning to action at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY. That date kicks-off Bring Me The Horizon’s US tour which culminates with an appearance at Sacramento’s Aftershock Festival on October 5.
Last month the band surprise-released a new album titled Lo-files - a 23-track project with remixes of some of their best-loved songs.
