The events take place simultaneously on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the August <a href="/wiki/Bank_holiday" title="Bank holiday">bank holiday</a> weekend.

Headliners and most supporting acts typically play at both sites, with Reading's Friday line up becoming Leeds' Saturday line-up, Reading's Saturday line-up playing at Leeds on Sunday, and Leeds' Friday line-up attending Reading on Sunday. Campsites are available at both sites and weekend tickets include camping.
