Lola Young delivered an unscheduled performance at Reading Festival on the event’s concluding day. The singer announced her appearance through social media, taking to the Grid stage to perform material from her catalog including the single Messy and One Thing.
Young’s set represents a continued step in her comeback to live performance. She had withdrawn from the previous year’s Reading Festival iteration due to scheduling conflicts. In September, she experienced an on-stage collapse at a festival appearance in New York, leading her to cancel all scheduled performances for an extended period. In subsequent interviews, Young disclosed that she had sought treatment for substance dependency issues that she described as having affected her for an extended time.
Following a hiatus from touring, Young resumed live performances with dates in the United Kingdom beginning in March. She has since appeared at multiple festival events, including Electric Picnic Festival on Saturday. While she has released new material including the single From Down Here in May, a fourth studio album from the artist remains forthcoming.
Reading Festival concluded on Sunday with additional performances scheduled from acts including Florence + The Machine, Chase & Status, Loyle Carner, and Kneecap. The parallel Leeds location of the biannual festival also concluded its programming on the same evening with performances from Raye and Dave.
