Manchester born, 20 year-old MC Aitch is one of the biggest success stories in the last year. With a BRIT Award nomination, his infectious energy and unrivalled flow cement him as a force to be reckoned with at this years Reading and Leeds.

Mabel, the voice behind a brand-new generation of R&B chanteuses who boasts over two million single sales in the UK, alongside half a billion streams will play Reading & Leeds 2020, alongside London multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter Georgia – one of the most singular and irresistible pop talents of 2020.
