Organisers of Reading and Leeds Festival have announced the biggest stage and site overhaul in the event's history.

The new concept includes The Gallery, an immersive venue; The Ballroom, dedicated to emerging artists; and The Canopy, a hub for new sounds and community experience.

The development shows that major festivals are increasingly moving away from relying solely on the main stage. Smaller venues with their own distinct identity encourage visitors to stay longer and help build up new acts.
