Global superstar Billie Eilish returns to Reading Festival, this time to headline the Main Stage East, where on a sunny afternoon in 2019, she drew arguably the biggest crowd of the weekend. At just 21, she is the youngest solo artist to date to headline the event.\n\nThe LA alt-pop sensation has built a hugely dedicated fanbase, has two UK number one albums under her belt, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever, and recently joined a stellar cast on the Barbie movie soundtrack with the hit What Was I Made For?\n
