St Albans-based band, Enter Shikari, are set for a main stage return at one of the UK's most famous festivals.
The rock group are going to light up the crowd at Reading and Leeds Festival in 2025, just six years on from their slot on the BBC Introducing music stage.
They join Becky Hill and Conan Gray as sub-headliners to Bring Me the Horizon on the Sunday at Leeds Festival and Saturday at Reading Festival.
A post by the band on Instagram following the announcement read: "We’re back on the main stage @officialrandl in August 2025! 🔥"
In what has been a sharp rise to fame, Enter Shikari have put St Albans on the map through their music, always sticking to their roots and supporting the community - also sponsoring St Albans City football club.
All four members, Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Rob Rolfe and Rory Clewlow, went to school in the area and three still live in the city.
Currently, 637,000 people listen to the band's tracks on Spotify every month with their most famous hit 'Sorry You're Not a Winner' garnering over 37 million playbacks.

They will now brush shoulders with the likes of Travis Scott, Hozier and Chappell Roan at next summer's iconic festivals.
This is not unfamiliar territory for Shikari, as their last main stage appearance was 2022, when they played hits like '{The Dreamer's Hotel}' and 'THE GREAT UNKNOWN'.

The announcement comes three weeks after the release of their latest LP 'Dancing On The Frontline', featuring multiple BBC live sessions and concerts.
Reading and Leeds Festival will take place on the August Bank Holiday Weekend (August 21 to 24, 2025) with the first wave of tickets releasing at noon on Monday, December 9.
