Reading and Leeds Festival ticketholders have been left disappointed after top headlining acts dropped out at the last minute.

Ahead of this weekend's festival - which kicks off on Friday August 26 - both rapper Jack Harlow and Eurovision winners Maneskin quit the line-up after choosing instead to perform at this year's MTV VMAs.

Rockers Rage Against The Machine also pulled out due to a medical injury that singer Zack de la Rocha has suffered.

Pop singer Charlie XCX and rapper AJ Tracey are returning from headlining in 2021 and have been set to replace Jack Harlow and Maneskin this year. Pop band The 1975, who played in 2019 at both Reading and Leeds, are now set to replace Rage Against The Machine after cancelling their performance in 2021 due to uncertainties of the pandemic.

Despite these replacements, fans are still unable to get a refund after buying tickets to see the three big headliners, sparking fury on Twitter.

"Absolutely disgusted at these two acts - they’ve pulled out for glory and/or more money. Seems like they don’t care about their fans," one wrote.

Another tweeted: "After everything live music has gone through, to just pull out of a festival as a better TV offer came along is unforgivable. GFYs #Maneskin & #jackharlow #fakeartists."
