The annual musical festival is taking it to the next level and hosting the world's biggest (and quietest) disco of all time next month.
If you've ever been to Leeds festival then you'll know that it's not just about the main stages and the popular headliners.
Although the line-up is an impressive one this year, with Billie Eilish and Sam Fender spearheading the festival, some of the best things happen where you least expect them.
And this year is no exception, as Reading and Leeds have made the triumphant announcement that they will be hosting the world's biggest silent disco to ever take place.

Yes, you heard that right. This year's festival will be making history and you'd be a fool not to take part in it.
But how is that possible you may ask? Well the way it's going to work is the two locations will be playing a simultaneous set, making the disco nationwide and merging the North and South divide.
British drum and bass DJ duo Sigma will be split up with one member playing at each silent disco location on the Sunday night, so those attending will most definitely be seeing off the festival in style.
Announcing the news, Leeds fest said: "Ok, so we can’t talk about late night without mentioning our HUGE silent disco announcement. In case you somehow missed it, we’re hosting the WORLD’S BIGGEST silent disco on Sunday night over at Main Stage West.

"We’re splitting DnB heroes Sigma in two, sending one to Reading to play the first ever (!!) simultaneous R&L set. It’s gonna be the biggest, but quietest, rave we’ve ever seen."
We're positive that this is doing to go down in the history books and be an evening to remember, so if you're off to Leeds Fest this year then get yourself down to the Main Stage West on Sunday night, grab a set of headphones and get boogying.
Tickets are still available for Leeds Fest and you can get yours here.
After closing for the entire second day, The Warehouse stage at Leeds Festival has once again been forced to evacuate.
One of the most anticipated dance acts of the day has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns just moments before the set.
Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa was due to take to The Warehouse stage today at 1:30pm, but the set was cancelled due to overcrowding.
It's not the first time this has happened at Leeds Festival 2026, as yesterday Omar+'s set was cancelled due to the same issue and the stage was subsequently closed for the rest of the day.
The Warehouse stage is completely new for this year, and supposedly is designed specifically for dance music...which is quite ironic.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Silva Bumpa said: "So so sorry Leeds Fest but due to over crowding my set was cancelled last min I was just behind the stage and got told right before such a massive shame."
Prospa, another prominent DJ who's set was cancelled at Reading on Friday afternoon, spoke up on the situation: "We are disappointed in The Warehouse stage closure at Reading Festival. We were told it wasn't possible to play whilst on the way. This was due to too many people outside the stage.
"We have seen this happen before at larger festivals in the UK. It's time to double the capacity of tents or put dance music on the main stage."
It comes after another dance stage, LS23, was closed mid-set last night due to a health and safety hazard when all the lights suddenly switched off and ravers were forced to evacuate.
If yesterday is anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if The Warehouse was closed for the rest of the day which means anticipated sets from Rossi and Mall Grab will also be cancelled.

For the second day in a row, a huge set has been cancelled due to overcrowding at Reading and Leeds Festival.
Day two of the festival and there's some pretty disappointed ravers hanging their head as one of the biggest dance music sets of the day is cancelled.
Omar+, a rising British electronic DJ and producer, was due to play on the brand-new Warehouse stage at Reading yesterday and Leeds today.
Yesterday's set was cancelled last minute due to overcrowding, and low and behold the same has happened here in Leeds.
Announcing the sad news to his story, Omar+ said "Actually lost for words. My Leeds set has been cancelled due to overcrowding."
He then went on to show a screenshot of a text message, reading: "I've never seen something like this in my entire life where two shows back to back are cancelled due to overcrowding."
