Mystery Jets and Let’s Eat Grandma will perform at this month’s Reading & Leeds festivals. They join Steel Banglez to play live sets in Leeds, while Circa Waves will take the stage at Reading for a special DJ set.

The events will celebrate the indie label, Transgressive Records’ 15th anniversary.

“To mark our 15th birthday year, we are now able to announce our return to Reading & Leeds, the ultimate climax to the summer,” said Toby L, Transgressive Records co-founder. “We’ve pushed the boat out this year, bringing Transgressive alumni Mystery Jets and Circa Waves along for the weekend, not to mention current stars Let’s Eat Grandma.”

“We’ve also gone big on the Sunday, to ensure the party doesn’t slow down – Steel Banglez is one of the biggest pop crossover names of recent times and will keep things moving right until the bitter end. And what the hell, we’re also going to throw a Beyonce versus Drake set straight afterwards, just two sets of DJs and hosts/MC’s dishing out the biggest jams from their respective catalogs. Bring on the August Bank Holiday weekend.”

The eighth annual festival is coming to New York City in September and will feature star-studded lineup including Queen & Adam Lambert, Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys, OneRepublic, H.E.R. and Carole King.

The charity announced the headliners Tuesday morning.

Special guest performances include French Montana, Ben Platt, and Jon Batiste & Stay Human. The festival will be hosted by Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, while co-hosts include Rachel Brosnahan, Bill Nye, Rami Malek, Matt Bomer, Elvis Duran, Taraji P. Henson, Joy Reid, and Forest Whitaker.

According to the organizers, the festival “encourages global citizens to power the movement to end extreme poverty, calling on world leaders to fight diseases including HIV and AIDS and polio, empower women and girls, combat plastic pollution and provide quality education for all.”

The Global Citizen Festival will take place in Central Park in New York City on September 28.
