The ultimate music fan girl Jodie Bryant will be joined by Arthur Hill, who is making waves in both the music and social media industries alike, she will be asking him all the questions any obsessive superfan would wish to know as part of her YouTube show Fan Girl Files.

The stage is launching a series of ‘Unplugged’ sessions with various artists including The Vamps’ frontman Bradley Simpson and finally, Dork music magazine’s Down with Boring podcast will discuss all things music.

Reading & Leeds Festivals 2024 will see a plethora of enormous and rising acts play across their stages over three days at the end of August in what is the traditional close of the UK’s festival season.
